James J. Harding, MD - MSK Gastrointestinal Oncologist & Early Drug Development Specialist

Memorial Sloan Kettering medical oncologist Maliha Nusrat specializes in treating gastrointestinal cancers.

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in treating people with cancers of the colon and rectum. I also care for people with anal squamous cell cancer, carcinoid tumors, and other gastrointestinal tract cancers.

I am a board-certified medical oncologist caring primarily for patients with pancreas, biliary, esophagogastric, and other gastrointestinal cancers. I work closely with a team of surgeons, radiation therapists, and other specialists to provide the best treatment and individualized care for each patient with these diseases. My research focuses on improving the delivery of care to patients and their families by optimally integrating cancer care with palliative medicine, which is a rapidly growing medical specialty aimed at reducing distress and maximizing quality living for people with serious illnesses like cancer.
