Hello, I'm Dr. Nicholas Mai, a medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and your diagnosis is unique to you. My goal is to understand the distinct features of your cancer and take the time to ensure you feel informed and confident about your care. As an expert in cancer genomics, one of the many tools I use is genetic testing, which helps guide us towards the most effective treatment option that aligns with your needs. 

One of the most important lessons that I've learned from my mentors throughout the years is that excellence in medicine isn't measured by following a predetermined path, but by skillfully navigating the complexity of each individual case. This principle guides my practice every day. Whether your case follows an expected path or presents unique challenges, you can feel assured that I bring both the expertise and the calm needed to deliver the best care possible. 

In addition to patient care, I lead clinical trials through MSK's Early Drug Development Service. Through these groundbreaking studies, we give patients access to some of the most promising new therapies before they're widely available, creating potential paths forward when conventional treatments have reached their limits. Ultimately, I'll guide you through your journey with clarity and compassion. With the support of the entire MSK team, we'll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you receive the expert, personalized care you deserve.
