Dr. Mohammad Ali Abbass is a colorectal surgeon at MSK specializing in colorectal cancers, Lynch syndrome, cancer risk, and prevention through genetic testing.

Beyond delivering the best care when a person is facing cancer, I genuinely believe in the power of showing grace and kindness at this vulnerable time in their life. Hi, I'm Dr. Mohammad Ali Abbas, a colorectal surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and at our MSK Nassau location. I work to prevent, treat, and cure colorectal cancers. I also have expertise in people's genetic predisposition to cancer, including Lynch syndrome and polyposis syndromes.

If you are predisposed to cancer, whether due to your family history or having a high-risk mutation, our team here at MSK is well-equipped to create a plan that fits your needs. This approach allows for early detection with the goal of cancer prevention.

I am a husband and a father, and I realize surgery is deeply personal. My approach is rooted in the same compassion and understanding I want for my own family. Ultimately, I work to achieve a smooth recovery for you to get back to your loved ones after surgery. Cancer does not define you, and together we will get you through this chapter and on with your life.
