Dr. Kate Pawloski is a breast surgeon at MSK specializing in breast cancer surgery, prevention, genetic risk testing, and lymph node procedures.
Breast cancer is a reality for one in eight women. Whether it is your personal journey, or someone you care about has been diagnosed, most of us have been touched by its effects.
Hi, I'm Dr. Kate Pawloski, and I'm a breast surgical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering. While I am dedicated to the surgical treatment of breast cancer, I also care for women who are at increased risk for developing breast cancer, due to genetic and other risk factors. I'm passionate about cancer prevention and early detection. My research is focused on optimizing prevention and screening recommendations for people at increased risk for breast cancer.
After a breast cancer diagnosis, what matters most is having someone by your side who can guide you with clarity and compassion. My first priority is to offer you reassurance and to help you feel less overwhelmed. We'll discuss surgical options backed by evidence and create a treatment plan to give you the best outcome and provide results that match your priorities.
Our collaborative team approach focuses on supporting your complete well-being throughout treatment, recovery and survivorship.
Most importantly, you deserve care that honors your values, so I will guide you through decisions that prioritize your health today and preserve your goals for the future.
I'm always driven by understanding what matters most to you, so you can lean on my expertise to guide our shared decisions. We'll navigate this journey together, one step at a time.
