The very first oncologic patient I ever treated was a pregnant woman with stage 3 breast cancer. I helped care for her through an intensive course of chemotherapy. Thankfully, the treatment worked, and she welcomed a healthy baby into the world. The strength she showed is something I will never forget – it continues to inspire the work I do every day.
Hi, I'm Dr. Phaedon Zavras, a breast medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for people with every type of breast cancer. I am also a researcher, developing new approaches to treating breast cancer with a particular focus on immunotherapy-based treatments.
What excites me most is being able to bring you the latest options for treatments, based on the discoveries made right here in our labs. We've made tremendous progress over the past two decades treating breast cancer. We can now tailor treatment to the biology of your specific tumor, and here you may have access to clinical trials of therapies that aren't yet widely available.
Every patient is different, even when they share the same diagnosis. Your wishes and your life circumstances matter, and we'll customize a plan that fits who you are. My role is to explain your options clearly and help you make decisions.
From my very first patient to every one walking through my door now, people trust our team with their lives. It is a tremendous responsibility and honor to preserve what is precious to you.
