Paola Angelini, MD, PhD
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.

Conditions I Treat

Get to Know Me
I’m a pediatric hematologist-oncologist on the MSK Kids team with special training in the care of children with solid tumors, particularly neuroblastoma. I also conduct research to advance our understanding of neuroblastoma, with the goal of improving results for patients. I see patients at Memorial Hospital, the main hospital at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
I chose the field of pediatric oncology because I am challenged by the fight against cancer. Understanding how cancer develops and discovering things we did not know about is also very rewarding for me. Equally, I value the long-term relationships and strong bonds that I establish with the families I care for, and how they grow over time.
In my research, I study how cancer evolves. We use a tool called liquid biopsy to make the best treatment decisions for each patient. A liquid biopsy is a test that looks for the presence of even a small number of cancer cells which may not be detected by standard tests.
It’s especially important for me to engage with the child from the very beginning. As a mother of three, I know how important it is for children to feel we are listening to them. I am very inspired by the children I treat. Their capacity to live in the moment and enjoy life against all the odds is humbling. I learn so much every day.
At MSK Kids, I am fortunate to work with a team that is dedicated to the care of children with cancer. I enjoy collaborating with them as well as my pediatric oncology colleagues around the globe. We all work together with a unified goal of curing childhood cancer. I have always been part of national and international collaborative groups and enjoy bringing these contributions to the MSK Kids team.
I'm a pediatric hematologist-oncologist, which is a doctor who treats cancers and blood diseases in children, adolescents, and young adults.

Disclosures
Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
