A leukemia diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but once we understand exactly what's causing the disease, we can begin building a plan together.

Hi, I'm Dr. Kuo-Kai Chin, a leukemia specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Before we talk about treatment, I want to understand who you are, and what’s worrying you. The best treatment plan shouldn’t only be based on the biology of your leukemia. It should also be based on how you live your life and what matters most to you.

I believe complex medicine should be understandable. When I talk with my patients, I explain what's happening in the leukemia, what their treatment options are, and why I'm recommending a particular approach. I want you to have the information you need to make decisions about your care.

As a leukemia physician and clinical researcher, I help bring promising new treatments and clinical trials to patients when they may offer another option. At MSK, every complex case is reviewed by our entire leukemia team, so you benefit from the experience and expertise of specialists who focus on leukemia every single day.

Leukemia treatment is changing quickly, and new options continue to emerge. My responsibility is to bring that progress directly to you, combining the best new science with personalized care.
