Hi, I’m Dr. Clare Sun, a leukemia specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, practicing at our MSK Basking Ridge location in New Jersey. I focus specifically on chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL.

At MSK, we have the specialists and the strategies to give you answers. We’ll focus on the biology of your disease and the way you want to live your life.

CLL is unique, and my first priority is for you to understand exactly what is happening in your body. Sometimes it may be best to watch and wait, but that’s not doing nothing. It’s being ready and avoiding treatment you may not need right now. 

I don’t believe cancer treatment should be a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I’ll recommend therapies that are designed specifically for the molecular profile of your cancer, your preferences, and overall health.

At MSK, we have one of the most robust CLL programs in the world. So if standard options aren't the right fit for you, our clinical trials provide access to the next generation of targeted treatments, which can be easier to tolerate and highly effective.

No matter where you are in your treatment journey, I’ll be in your corner, anticipating next steps and protecting the time you spend doing the things that bring you joy.
