Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Postow, a medical oncologist and Chief of the Melanoma Medical Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for people with melanoma.
I came to MSK because it's where many of the biggest advances in melanoma care first began. It’s where I feel I can care for patients best, providing them with the latest knowledge of the best treatments available.
Sometimes the right treatment for you is one that is not widely available. Through our clinical trials program, we can offer promising new therapies that may give you options beyond standard treatments.
Every decision about treatment starts with a conversation with you and your family. Ours will be a relationship built on trust because above all, I value the connection I make with each patient on this journey. It won't always be easy, but we have a great team dedicated to helping you. We know you’re entrusting us with an important chapter in your life, and we will do everything we know how to do to get you through it.
