Jasmine H. Francis, MD
Ophthalmic Oncologist
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
- Associate Attending Surgeon
I am a board-certified ophthalmologist with specialty training in ophthalmic oncology: the care of people with cancers in, on, and around the eye. I understand the impact that cancer can have on our patients and their families. My goal is to provide the best treatment for each patient with the fewest side effects.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we have the advantage of working closely with a team of specialized doctors such as radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, neurologists, and pediatric oncologists to create a coordinated plan of care for our patients.

As a member of the MSK Kids team, I care for young patients with retinoblastoma, a pediatric cancer that arises inside the eye. The treatment of retinoblastoma is particularly challenging because we are striving to successfully treat the disease while also maintaining the health and vision of the eyes. We take a team approach to achieve these goals to the best of our abilities.
I also participate in an interdisciplinary effort at Memorial Sloan Kettering to treat and study patients with histiocytic disorders such as Erdheim-Chester disease and Langerhans cell histiocytosis. These are systemic diseases that can also affect the eye. I offer a perspective of the disease as it relates to the eye, including any side effects on the eye during treatment.
As a clinician-scientist (academic oncologist), I have published numerous peer-reviewed papers and book chapters. My principle areas of research include intraocular tumors, including retinoblastoma and uveal melanoma. In addition, I continue to conduct research on the ocular side effects of cancer treatment. I was granted an Achievement Award by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and was recognized as one of the Top 40 Under 40 in Ophthalmology (published by The Ophthalmologist) and in Cancer (by McGivney Global Advisor, the Lynk group). I received research funding from the Macula Society.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa with honors from Columbia University. I was awarded a Research Fellowship Award, in addition to spending a year at Oxford University. During my training at New York University School of Medicine, I chose ophthalmology and after a transitional year, pursued an internship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I completed my ophthalmology residency at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where I was awarded the William J. & Judith Turner Outstanding Resident Award. I then returned to Memorial Sloan Kettering to complete my specialty training and fellowship in ophthalmic oncology, which is where I have remained.
An ophthalmic (of-THAL-mik) oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in eye cancers. This includes eye melanoma and retinoblastoma.
