Andrew D. Seidman, MD - MSK Breast Oncologist

Memorial Sloan Kettering medical oncologist Komal Jhaveri specializes in caring for people with breast cancer.

I am a surgical oncologist with a practice dedicated to the treatment of breast cancer. My research has focused on how to apply the advances from clinical trials to daily surgical practice. I have co-chaired the joint committee of the American College of Surgeons, American College of Radiology, and College of American Pathologists on Standards for Breast Conserving Therapy for Invasive Breast Cancer and for Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) in 2002 and 2007.

I am a board-certified medical oncologist who specializes in the identification and management of individuals who have inherited an increased risk for cancer. As Clinic Director of the Clinical Genetics Service, I concentrate on helping men and women with cancer incorporate genetic information into their treatment plan. For those who are at increased risk, but have not been diagnosed, I work to develop a plan that will help them either prevent the development of cancer, or limit its impact if it occurs.
