Hi, I’m Dr. Afsheen Iqbal, a thoracic medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I specialize in treating lung cancer, and I’m here to help you navigate your diagnosis with clarity, compassion, and the highest standard of care.
I know that a new diagnosis can feel overwhelming, which is why I am fully committed to being your partner. When we meet, I will be thorough and honest. I want you to leave our first visit with a clear understanding of your options and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you are supported.
At MSK, you have an entire team of lung cancer experts focused on you. We review complex cases together to ensure that no stone is left unturned. I often tell my patients: Do not let this diagnosis rob you of your joy. With today’s advances, there’s so much reason for hope.
I have a patient with advanced lung cancer whose previous treatment had stopped working. He was understandably worried about his family and what the future held. But by looking deeper into the unique biology of his tumor, we found a new path forward through an advanced clinical trial here at MSK. Years later, he’s still doing well, enjoying his life and his family.
Seeing my patients thrive reminds me why medicine is my calling. It’s why I’m so deeply committed to giving you and your family the care you deserve.
