Satish K Tickoo, MD-MSK Pathologist

Memorial Sloan Kettering pathologist Anne Grabenstetter specializes in diagnosing and staging breast cancer.

Memorial Sloan Kettering pathologist Filiz Sen specializes in the pathology of lymphomas, leukemias, myeloid neoplasms, and myelomas.

As a neuropathologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering I analyze tissue samples taken during brain and spinal cord surgery in order to classify tumors based on their cellular characteristics and determine how aggressive they are likely to be. There are more than 120 recognized types of central nervous system tumors, so making a precise diagnosis is essential; the work we do in the laboratory including molecular genetic assessments guides treatment decisions.
