Hamza Hashmi, MD
Myeloma Specialist & Cellular Therapist
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
- Assistant Attending Physician
I am a hematologist-oncologist specializing in the care of people with multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders, including:
I see patients with newly-diagnosed and relapsed myeloma (cancer that has come back after treatment). I have expertise in using different types of therapies, including chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, to treat myeloma.

A blood cancer diagnosis can be life-changing not only for the person with cancer, but also their family. I believe myeloma is not a sprint, but a marathon, and I take great pride in helping my patients at every step of their care journey. Compassion, empathy, competence, and commitment are the core values of my clinical practice. While I share my knowledge and wisdom with my patients and their families, I also rely on them to share their hopes, goals, and preferences for care during the decision-making process. I don’t just listen to their wants and needs — I use them to guide their cancer treatment.
I am excited by the prospect of developing new chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments, like CAR T cell and bispecific antibodies for multiple myeloma, through clinical trials. In addition to novel therapies, my research centers on developing a better understanding of the interplay of cancer and immunotherapy to overcome treatment resistance in multiple myeloma.
Outside of work, I am an amateur photographer who likes to narrate stories through a camera’s lens.
A myeloma specialist is a doctor with special training in diagnosing and treating myeloma.
A cellular therapy specialist is a doctor with special training in using cell therapies to treat health conditions such as cancer. Therapies can include chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy.
