Oscar B. Lahoud, MD
Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist & Cellular Therapist
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
- Senior Medical Director, Strategic Partnerships
- Medical Site Director, Memorial Medical Care, PC – A practice of MSK physicians
As a hematologist-oncologist, I care for people with blood cancers. I have expertise in treating lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma and in using advanced therapies, including stem cell transplant and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells.
I offer my patients a wide range of treatment options whenever possible. This may include the standard of care or promising novel therapies, like immunotherapy or targeted therapy. At Memorial Medical Care, PC and MSK Nassau, I help my patients access the same level of cutting-edge care that makes Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) a leader in cancer care.

When I meet with patients, they are often worried about the possible side effects of treatment. These concerns sometimes arise from information online or from a personal connection’s experience with cancer. I remind my patients that their cancer is unique and will be treated as such. The plans that we put together best fit our patients’ health, life circumstances, and individual goals. We work together to create a treatment plan that considers side effects before treatment starts. This helps patients know what to expect and recognize any side effects that they might experience early.
When I came to MSK in 2012, I was a doctor in the Urgent Care Center. I cared for people who were experiencing side effects from cancer and its treatment. I chose to focus my fellowship on hematologic oncology and blood and bone marrow stem cell transplantation. This training taught me the importance of providing comprehensive care to people with blood cancers. I treat my patients as whole people, not just their disease.
After completing my fellowship, I stayed at MSK as a member of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Service. My first goal in this role was to expand access to our world-class transplant expertise to MSK Nassau through the Opening Stem Cell Access to the Regionals (OSCAR) program. This program has allowed our patients in Long Island to receive pre- and post-transplant care locally. Previously, patients needed to travel to Manhattan to receive pre- and post-transplant care.
I believe every person with cancer should have the opportunity to access the expertise and cutting-edge therapies that MSK offers, and I have been devoted to this mission through the OSCAR program. With the support from leadership from the relevant services, division and department, while continuously working to expand transplant and CAR T cell therapy to our other regional sites, as the Medical Site Director for Memorial Medical Care, PC – A practice of MSK physicians, I help bring these services to our new Brooklyn facility in Flatbush.
I also serve as MSK’s Strategic Partnerships Program Senior Medical Director. This program aims to facilitate collaboration between locoregional partners and MSK so patients have comprehensive care coordination between our institution’s cancer experts and a patient’s external providers closer to home.
