Dr. Minna Lee is a breast surgeon at MSK specializing in oncoplastic, hidden-scar, and nipple-sparing surgery, plus genetic testing for personalized treatment.
Breakthrough treatments have dramatically increased cure rates for women with breast cancer. One in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer, and I’m passionate about translating leading-edge science into real-world hope and healing.
Hi, I’m Dr. Minna Lee, a breast surgical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. A breast cancer diagnosis comes with a range of emotions, and I’m here to help you navigate through what can feel confusing and overwhelming. I’ll provide clarity to your questions, and guide you through your surgical options.
Your journey is personal, and your breast cancer has distinct characteristics. We’ll shape your surgical plan to match your tumor's location and biological markers. Together, we'll make decisions by considering your lifestyle and desired outcome—ensuring every aspect of your care aligns with your priorities.
My surgical expertise includes oncoplastic techniques, hidden-scar approaches, and nipple sparing mastectomy to help achieve your cosmetic goals.
I'm also dedicated to advancing breast cancer treatment through research. My work examines how genetic mutations impact the way breast cancers respond to conventional therapies. By uncovering these mechanisms of resistance, we can develop tailored treatments that match the unique genetic profile of tumors.
As we focus on what’s in front of us today, and look forward to tomorrow, our entire team at MSK will support and encourage you along the way. I’m grateful to be entrusted with your care.
