Breast cancer surgeon Lisa Sclafani, who practices at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Commack, wants newly diagnosed patients to leave her office with hope and with a plan of action for treating the cancer.
I am a surgical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of breast cancer. My particular interests include the psychosocial aspects of breast cancer,the genetics of breast cancer and multidisciplinary care. As breast-cancer treatment has become less focused on radical surgery and more focused on multimodality care, I believe coordinated care at a dedicated cancer center like Memorial Sloan-Kettering is essential. Bringing this high-quality coordinated care to Long Island is my aim at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Commack.
