When cancer becomes part of your story, it's natural to feel overwhelmed with questions. Before we discuss treatment, know that I’m deeply committed to your journey. I'm here to offer expert care, wrapped with compassion, and to assure you that you will never feel alone.

Hi, I’m Dr. Devika Rao, and I’m a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering.  I provide medical therapies to patients who have cancer within the GI tract.

You are always a person before you’re a patient…and my team and I will spend as much time as you need to help you understand your diagnosis and alleviate your fears... because there is no one more important than you.

MSK's leadership in medical research and clinical trials allow us to implement the newest therapies, offering our patients options beyond the standard treatments, so you always receive the best cancer care in the world.

Because of my passion for continuing MSK’s legacy, I lead programs to train new doctors who will continue to model excellence in medicine. I’m honored to be building the future of medicine and I’m grateful to be entrusted with your journey.
