Hello, I’m Dr. Anita Kumar, a lymphoma specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, New Jersey.
My father was a doctor. His approach to patient care, along with my passion for community service and science, led me to follow in his footsteps. I realized I could help make a big difference in people’s lives.
Hearing you have cancer puts you at one of the most challenging crossroads in your life. I chose to work at MSK because everyone brings their best each day to achieve a shared goal: helping you feel better.
Because I also do clinical trial research, you may have the opportunity to access new treatments not available anywhere else, like medicines that target the mutation driving your specific cancer that have fewer side effects than standard treatments.
It takes a team to treat cancer, and we’re rallied around you. Like any team, we'll celebrate your wins and milestones. In difficult times, we’re right beside you, providing support and hope.
