Mark G. Kris, MD - MSK Thoracic Oncologist

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in the care of people with cancers arising in the lungs.  In my research, I aim to discover better treatments for individuals with lung cancers by studying the genetic characteristics of their tumors. I lead a research team working to find new genetic targets in cancer cells, and to test anticancer medicines that specifically attack the lung cancers driven by these molecular changes.  I work with surgeons and radiation specialists to find the best ways to use surgery, radiotherapy, and drugs together to increase the chance of cure.
