Many patients arrive at their first visit so anxious they can barely smile or say hello. My goal is that by the end of our conversation, you can smile a little and feel more relaxed knowing we’ve got a solid plan for you.
Hi, I'm Dr. Meira Yisraeli Salman, a leukemia specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for people with both acute and chronic forms of leukemia. I see patients in Manhattan and MSK Commack in Long Island.
When I’m treating someone with leukemia, I'm always thinking on two parallel tracks. One is giving you the best medical treatment I can. The other is helping you feel supported, so you understand what’s ahead and can make decisions with confidence. Both the medical and the emotional aspects of care are equally important to me.
Every leukemia and every person facing it is different. At MSK, we are experts in choosing the right treatment for your particular cancer, and we continue to adapt it as your disease changes and your body responds.
If you could benefit from a clinical trial or investigational new therapy, I'll explain why, what it involves, and how it compares with standard treatment. My job isn't to convince you to enroll in the study, but I do want you to understand all your options so we can make decisions together.
When you're my patient, I am fully devoted to your care. I don't have a crystal ball, but I will always be honest. I like to say that I would move mountains for my patients, and that is my commitment to you.
