Hi, I’m Dr. Eytan Stein, a specialist in leukemia and early drug development at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for people with both acute and chronic forms of the disease.
Before I went to medical school, I spent several years teaching elementary school. It taught me that explaining something well isn't about using bigger words; it's about making sure the person in front of you truly understands.
As I think through treatment options, I always ask myself one question: If you were my mother, father, brother, sister, or child, what would I recommend? And how can I phrase it in a way that makes sense and makes you feel most comfortable with what’s ahead of us?
One advantage of being at MSK is that complex leukemia cases don't rest on just one doctor's opinion. We regularly review challenging cases together as a group, so your treatment plan reflects the expertise of our entire leukemia team.
My research focuses on developing new and better drugs for acute myeloid leukemia. I lead clinical trials to provide my patients with more options. Several have even led to FDA-approved treatments that doctors use today.
But my greatest joy is caring for you through one of the hardest times in your life, and that’s why I became a doctor.
