Dr. Virgilio Sacchini treats people with breast cancer at MSK, including those with BRCA genes, using advanced surgery and personalized care to achieve natural results.

Hi, I'm Dr. Virgilio Sacchini, a breast surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I treat patients of all ages, but I’m specifically interested in why breast cancer increasingly affects younger women.  

My approach always begins with careful, accurate diagnosis to understand your cancer type, tumor size, and its genetic makeup. We identify the specific DNA mutations that are causing the cancer, and based on that information, we’ll come up with the best plan for you.

I specialize in preventative surgery for people who carry the BRCA genes, which raises the risk of developing breast cancer and other cancers. I also use the latest surgical techniques to achieve the most natural results, so you can feel confident and more like yourself.  

We are truly in this together.
