Dr. Matthew Bott uses minimally invasive surgery to treat lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and other chest cancers at MSK.
After a patient meets with me, I hope that they feel comforted; that we've alleviated a lot of anxiety and worry; and they feel confident in the plan moving forward.
I’m Dr. Matthew Bott, a thoracic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center specializing in the treatment of cancers within the chest, including lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic tumors.
Believe it or not, many early-stage cancers are often cured with a single surgery, requiring no further treatment. Most procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, thereby reducing pain and improving recovery time.
If your diagnosis is more complex, you can trust my expertise in achieving an excellent surgical outcome. I'll work in close collaboration with other specialists to deliver the world-class care that MSK provides.
By identifying the unique biology of your tumor, we create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your individual diagnosis. If a clinical trial available, we'll have a conversation to discuss if participating is right for you.
Beyond pursuing a cure for your cancer, what matters most to me is the human side of care—I will listen to you, calm your fears and guide you through every step of your journey.
Your goals are my priority, and you are always the most important member of our team. I want to get you back to living the life you love. Together, let’s get you there.
