Anita Mamtani, MD, FACS - MSK Breast Surgeon

I am a medical oncologist with a clinical practice that is devoted solely to the care of patients with breast cancer. My research activities are focused on the clinical development of new therapies for the treatment of breast cancer, with a particular emphasis on evaluating targeted biological anticancer agents. Currently, I am involved in phase I and phase II clinical trials to evaluate novel anti-HER2 therapies. Additional information about these clinical trials is available on Memorial Sloan Kettering’s website.

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.

I am a surgical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. My colleagues and I on the Breast Disease Management Team (which includes breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists) provide state-of-the-art, compassionate care for breast cancer patients. I specialize in breast cancer surgery and provide the full range of procedures including breast conservation surgery (lumpectomy), mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction, and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
