Andrea Tufano-Sugarman, MD
We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Get to Know Me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist. I focus on medical treatments for people with gynecologic cancers. This includes:
I see patients at MSK Commack on Long Island, making sure you have access to world-class care close to home. I work very closely with MSK’s team of surgeons, radiation oncologists, and researchers. Together, we provide the best treatment that’s right for you and the type of cancer you have.
I believe in a holistic approach to cancer treatment. My team will support you with wellness and lifestyle changes to help you feel your best during and after treatment.
Learning you have cancer can make you and your loved ones feel anxious. I will talk with you and your family about your diagnosis and treatment options. Together, we’ll choose a personal plan that’s best for you.
If you’re facing gynecologic cancer, my team and I will be there for you each step of the way.
I'm a gynecologic medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in gynecologic (GY-neh-kuh-LAH-jik) cancers. This includes cervical, fallopian tube, ovarian, uterine (endometrial), vaginal, and vulvar cancers.
