A diagnosis of cancer can be one of the most difficult moments of a person's life, and it's an incredible privilege to be entrusted with my patients' stories during these times.

Hi. I'm Dr. Rohit Thummalapalli. I'm a gastrointestinal medical oncologist and clinical researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, specializing in the treatment of neuroendocrine, liver, and bile duct cancers. I strive to navigate each of my patients' journeys with compassion and individualized care. Together, we'll customize a treatment plan that focuses not only on the biology of your cancer, but also on your physical, social, and emotional well-being. As a clinical investigator, I also lead research initiatives aimed at developing innovative therapies for patients with neuroendocrine and bile duct cancers. These are therapies that target unique, individualized biomarkers in patients' tumors.

I'm proud to uphold MSK's reputation for incorporating leading-edge science in the clinic while advancing patient care through promising clinical trials. My patients are the most important members of their care teams. As we navigate today, we'll build hope for tomorrow so you can focus on living the life you deserve.
