Dr. Giacomo Montagna treats breast cancers – including rare breast cancers and male breast cancers – at MSK in New York City, using oncoplastic surgery to completely remove the cancer while preserving the natural shape of your breast.
A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, so Dr. Montagna often starts his first visit with a simple sketch to map out your cancer and his plans to treat it. He leads research into fluorescence-guided surgery, which helps locate cancer cells in real time during your operation to reduce the risk of it ever coming back. He also co-leads MSK’s Rare Breast Cancer Program, partnering with a team of specialists so that everyone, regardless of how rare or common their diagnosis is, receives the expert care they deserve.

When I first meet a patient to discuss their diagnosis, my goal is to make sure they understand every step of their treatment plan. A simple sketch can turn something complex into something manageable; and before long, we aren’t just looking at a drawing – we’re looking at your path forward.
Hi, I’m Dr. Giacomo Montagna, a breast surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I specialize in oncoplastic surgery, which combines cancer removal with reconstructive techniques to preserve the natural shape and appearance of the breast. My goal is to help you feel confident long after your treatment is completed.
Beyond surgery, I lead research into new technologies like fluorescence-guided surgery. This approach allows us to see cancer cells in real time during the operation, helping us to remove the tumor completely. For my patients, this can mean fewer follow-up procedures and a faster recovery.
I also lead our Rare Breast Cancer Program, caring for people with tumors that many physicians may never encounter. Together, we bring our expertise to every decision to provide you with the best possible care.
Whether your case is rare or common, I’m here to offer you the clarity and confidence to move on with your life.
