Hi, I’m Dr. Nitya Raj, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I specialize in rare cancers called neuroendocrine tumors. These are unique, complex cases that require a truly personalized approach.
When you and your family see me, I will give you all the time you need to have every question answered, so you feel supported from the very start. Our goal is to ensure your treatment fits into your life, not the other way around.
My research focuses on understanding the genetic makeup of these cancers and how they evolve. I’ve had the privilege of leading clinical trials for therapies that are now approved for my patients. For me, these scientific advances are about more than just data. They are about helping people live well for a long time with the best possible quality of life.
I was drawn to oncology because of the incredible resilience I see in people facing cancer. Using research to discover new ways for you to keep living your life is why I come to work every day.
