Andromachi (Machi) Scaradavou, MD
Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist & Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist
My Role at MSKWe 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.

About Me

Umbilical cord blood from healthy newborns is an excellent source of stem cells to rebuild a patient’s immune and blood system. At MSK Kids, we try to present patients and their families with different treatment options, tailored to their individual conditions. Cord blood has a number of advantages over blood or bone marrow from an unrelated donor. It is not necessary to find a perfect HLA (tissue type) match, making it particularly attractive for patients of ethnic minorities. Cord blood is more rapidly available, and there is a lower risk of a serious transplant complication called graft-versus-host disease, which occurs when the transplanted cells attack the normal tissues of the recipient’s body.
My colleagues and I have a great deal of experience in research that has led to cord blood transplantation being brought from the laboratory to the clinic. We are also studying new ways to use cord blood to treat diseases of the blood and bone marrow.
I have spoken nationally in support of cord blood transplantation to try to get more hospitals interested in participating in cord blood donation programs. I also teach fellows and give presentations at conferences about cord blood collection and banking and its use in transplantation and cellular therapies.
A pediatric hematologist-oncologist is a doctor who treats cancers of the blood in children and adolescents. This doctor is a hematologist (HEE-muh-TAH-loh-jist) who diagnoses and treats blood disorders. They also are an oncologist (cancer doctor).
