Sridevi Rajeeve, MD

Together with my colleagues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), I offer a variety of treatment options. This includes standard-of-care medications, like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and cellular therapies, and the latest cutting-edge clinical trials available at MSK — one of the world’s oldest and best centers for cancer care.

A cancer diagnosis abruptly transforms the lives of both patients and their loved ones. Each patient, their support systems, and environment are unique; my goal is to holistically think about all of these elements and, together with my patients, decide what treatment approach is best, based on their individual needs, wishes, and goals. I value communication and place high importance on patients and their caregivers understanding the disease process, treatment options, benefits, risks, and alternatives.

My research interests include:

• Studying new drugs for plasma cell disorders
• Identifying patients who either have a high risk for disease progression (cancer continues to grow) or are not responding to standard therapies
• Developing cellular therapies and managing their side effects
• Digital health
• Improving healthcare delivery, and
• Global health initiatives

The field of multiple myeloma has significantly advanced, thanks to newer immunotherapies and cellular therapies that are helping patients to live longer and better. I am involved in a number of clinical trials and projects evaluating novel therapeutic approaches for plasma cell disorders. I currently practice in both New York City and New Jersey, with the goal of providing MSK’s expertise and facilities to all those in need.

Watching my brilliant scientist grandfather succumb to an aggressive form of brain cancer during my formative teenage years laid the foundation for me to pursue oncology as my calling long before medical school. I am grateful to be able to live that dream and am deeply committed to ensuring every patient feels comfortable in the care that they are receiving at MSK.

Outside the clinic and the lab, I am an avid bibliophile and enjoy adventure sports like skiing and traveling to places of historical significance.
