Michael D. Offin, MD
Thoracic Medical Oncologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Co-Director, Mesothelioma Program
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a board-certified medical oncologist dedicated to caring for people with mesothelioma and lung cancer.
Finding out that you or a family member has a thoracic cancer can be overwhelming. My team and I will help you understand your diagnosis and find the best path forward. I am devoted to providing the highest level of care throughout my patient’s treatment with the goal of providing a personalized approach to improve outcomes and quality of life.

I care for people with lung cancers (including those patients whose tumors harbor a BRAF alteration) and mesotheliomas (including pleural and peritoneal disease) at the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at MSK in Manhattan. As the co-director of the MSK Mesothelioma Program, I work with a comprehensive team of cancer experts from various disciplines to ensure that all of my patients receive individualized and exceptional care.
My research focuses on using laboratory findings to design clinical trials that further the care of my patients. With precision medicine and immunotherapy, people with thoracic cancers, including those with advanced disease, may have several treatment and clinical trial options available. Through my research, and when caring for my patients, I endeavor to analyze available options with a constant eye on evaluating new treatments. I aim to bring the discoveries made by our laboratory researchers to the bedside for the benefit of my patients and beyond.
A thoracic medical oncologist is a cancer doctor who specializes in thoracic (thor-A-sik) cancers. These are cancers that have to do with the chest, including lung, tracheal (windpipe), and thymic (thymus) cancers.
