I lost a close friend and fellow doctor to stomach cancer when she was in her 30s. Before she passed, she asked me to promise I’d keep pushing this work forward. And I do, every day.
Hi, I’m Dr. Robin Mendelsohn, a gastroenterologist here at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for patients with stomach, esophageal, colorectal, and other related GI cancers. I also am involved in screening people at high risk of these cancers.
Before our first visit together, I will carefully review your medical history. Then I want to hear what you’ve been experiencing, in your words. I’ll listen, and then we’ll start building a clear plan together.
I’m the Co-Founder and Co-Director of the MSK Center for Young Onset Colorectal and Gastrointestinal Cancers. It’s the first program in the world to provide all-encompassing care for people under 50 with GI cancers, including support groups, nutritionists, fertility specialists, and more. I never want you, or any of my patients, to feel like you're going through cancer alone. Having the right support is critical.
Also important is the extensive research in our MSK labs, where we’re breaking new ground into why colorectal cancer is rising, especially in young adults.
Every patient I see and every MSK study I am part of helps me honor the promise I made to my friend. I can promise you that you’ll always have a plan you understand, an expert team around you, and care that gives you the best chance to thrive.
