Natalie Moryl (Khojainova), MD - MSK Supportive Care Physician

Description

I am an internist who specializes in treating pain and other symptoms related to cancer. I also oversee Memorial Sloan Kettering's Palliative Care Unit. Patients with symptoms that compromise their quality of life or who are in need of acute pain management are admitted to the PCU. After diagnosing the causes of patients' pain, I direct their treatment, which can include pain medications, radiation therapy, invasive interventions, and psychosocial support. I focus on pain symptom management and palliative care issues both while patients are receiving treatment in the hospital and after they are discharged home.
