Yee-Ming Melody Cheung, MD, PhD - MSK Endocrinologist

I am a board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist with a clinical and research focus on new drug development in acute and chronic leukemias, including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). As a member of the multidisciplinary Leukemia Disease Management Team, I work closely with the many individuals who make up the clinical and research programs here.

In my more than four-decade career as a thoracic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I have had the privilege of caring for thousands of individuals with lung, mesothelioma, and esophageal cancers.

My clinical expertise reflects an interest in lung cancer survivorship, but I am also interested in helping people who have incidental radiographic findings other than lung cancer. Many people who undergo chest x-rays or CT scans, for instance, learn that they have subtle abnormalities, such as small nodules, that are too small for biopsy.
