Deborah M. Capko, MD, FACS

I see patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering’s regional care facility in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. There, I am part of a multidisciplinary breast cancer team that provides state-of-the-art, compassionate care for women with breast cancer. We provide comprehensive breast imaging services, as well as medical and radiation oncology. Our staff also includes a team of nurses and clinical researchers who are also focused on breast care.

I have provided breast cancer care to women in New Jersey for 15 years. Working closely with my colleagues on the Memorial Sloan Kettering medical staff, I have access to the latest information and discoveries about treating patients with breast cancer. Although my major focus is clinical patient care, I enroll patients in the research trials available at the Basking Ridge facility and also expedite entry into the clinical trials system at our New York City location, when appropriate.

I lecture throughout the area to both public and physician audiences about breast cancer risk and the newest advances in breast cancer treatment. I am a member of the New Jersey Commission on Breast Cancer Research. I am also on the medical advisory board of the North Jersey Susan G. Komen organization and have contributed to their nationally recognized “Teens for the Cure” program.
