Jatin P. Shah, MD, FACS - MSK Head and Neck Surgeon

I provide blood or marrow stem cell transplants and other cell therapies for the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and selected solid tumors in adult patients.

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in the care of people with cancers arising in the lungs. In my research, I aim to discover better treatments for individuals with lung cancers by studying the genetic characteristics of their tumors. I lead a research team working to find new genetic targets in cancer cells, and to test anticancer medicines that specifically attack the lung cancers driven by these molecular changes. I work with surgeons and radiation specialists to find the best ways to use surgery, radiotherapy, and drugs together to increase the chance of cure.

I am a general pulmonologist. I see many outpatients with lung problems ranging from routine to esoteric conditions — not just those related to cancer. These medical issues include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, and many others.
