Sarat Chandarlapaty, MD, PhD
Breast 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
- Naddisy Foundation Chair in Breast Cancer Research at Memorial Sloan Kettering
I am a medical oncologist with a practice devoted to treating people with breast cancer.
I chose to focus on oncology because cancer is an enormous human problem and I wanted to help people who are affected by it. It has been my long-term desire to translate scientific discoveries into ways to treat disease and alleviate suffering.

My laboratory and clinical research both focus on developing new treatment strategies against breast cancers that become resistant to standard treatments. I research the molecular factors that play a role in resistance in order to identify targets that may lead to new treatments.
I am fortunate to work with an exceptional team of physicians and scientists who share my goal of eradicating breast cancer. Together, we are exploring several exciting ways of treating this disease.
Our research includes novel therapies that target the biological factors that make cancers grow. We are studying new inhibitors that block pathways that facilitate breast cancer growth or drug resistance. We are also investigating treatments that can deliver therapy specifically to cancer cells as well as antibody drug conjugates — hybrid drugs that make use of immunotherapy and chemotherapy — which will enable more targeted therapy.
A breast oncologist is a doctor with special training in breast cancer.

- A Phase II Study of Fulvestrant plus Abemaciclib in Recurrent or Persistent Hormone Receptor-Positive Endometrial Cancer
Memorial Sloan Kettering's doctors and scientists are constantly developing new treatments for cancer. MSK is typically running hundreds of clinical trials at a given time.
You may be able to participate in a clinical trial even if you are new to MSK. Search our online directory to find trial information and see more about who can participate.
