Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Chernak, a leukemia specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for patients with a spectrum of blood cancers, including myeloproliferative neoplasms, systemic mastocytosis, myelodysplastic syndromes, and acute leukemias.

These are complex diseases, but as my patient, you will receive a comprehensive evaluation from our entire team. We carefully review your medical history, your symptoms, and any prior treatments that you have received.

When we first meet, my goal is to help you clearly understand your condition and the options available to you. We combine the latest scientific evidence with our clinical experience to build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I want you to leave that first visit with a solid understanding of your diagnosis and a clear path forward.

As a clinical investigator, I also research the biology of these cancers to develop more effective therapies. During our time together, we will discuss the most effective standard-of-care options for your disease, as well as clinical trials that may offer access to the latest treatments.

Every member of my team has years of experience focused exclusively on blood cancers. We are here to guide you, monitor your progress, and answer your questions with the expertise you expect from MSK. Thank you for entrusting us with your care. I look forward to meeting you.
