Dr. Eli Diamond cares for people with brain tumors and rare blood cancers like histiocytosis at MSK, leading research and trials that provide access to new therapies.
Hi, I’m Dr. Eli Diamond, a neuro-oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I'm an expert and researcher in histiocytosis, a family of rare blood cancers that can affect many parts of the body. I also care for people with brain tumors and cancer-related brain conditions.
I led a clinical trial for histiocytosis that resulted in the first drug approved by the FDA to treat this condition, giving patients relief and hope for the first time. Since then, our research team has continued to make breakthroughs and get more treatments approved by the FDA.
Because I care for people with rare cancers and unusual symptoms, I understand you may be confused and anxious about what’s happening.
When we meet, I’ll listen to your story. I’ll explain why you’re feeling the way you do and the tests we’ll use to figure out the next steps. You will have a team of specialists focusing on coming up with the treatment plan that’s best for you. You may also have the option of joining a clinical trial studying a new therapy.
Having cancer can make you feel isolated. When you come to MSK, you’re not alone.
