Care Philosophy: Joanna M. Rhodes, MD, MSCE, is the director of the Northwell Health Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Research and Treatment Center. She specializes in the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other lymphomas. She also runs clinical trials to better understand the biology of these diseases, as well as clinical trials to bring novel treatments to patients. By having clinical trials available, we are able to put patients on new agents or provide them with access to combinations of existing therapies that may improve outcomes, Dr. Rhodes says. Patients get a different experience than they would in an office that may not have access to clinical trials. Dr. Rhodes decided to become a doctor when a friends father died of brain cancer. I wanted to be part of designing cures for cancer, she says. That interest led her to get a masters in medical sciences. She then worked at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the division of bone marrow transplants. The work there really solidified my desire to improve outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies, she says. Board certified in internal medicine and medical oncology, Dr. Rhodes earned her medical degree at the State University of Stony Brook School of Medicine. After completing her residency at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, she went on to do a fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at the University of Pennsylvania. She is now an assistant professor of medicine at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Rhodes research has been presented at national and international scientific meetings as well as published in multiple peer-reviewed journals. She is an active member of the American Society of Hematology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Rhodes received an American Society of Clinical Oncology Conquer Cancer Young Investigators Award in 2019. My approach is very patient centered, Dr. Rhodes says. I take in account their diseases biology, their goals, values and lifestyles to provide them with personalized care for their disease.

Biography: I am a medical oncologist with clinical expertise in the treatment of advanced melanoma and other cutaneous malignancies (merkel cell, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinomas). My primary research interests are focused on developing innovative immunotherapeutic strategies to treat advanced skin cancers, particularly for those patients who have not responded to standard of care therapies. I have a passion for clinical research and am committed to providing the most personalized and up-to-date treatment for my patients, particularly in the form of clinical trials. Through this research, I aim to better understand why some patients' tumors are resistant to certain therapies, and how we can overcome this resistance. Prior to joining Rutgers, I was on the faculty at Yale Cancer Center where I treated patients with advanced melanoma and other skin cancers and conducted clinical and translational research. I received my undergraduate degree from the Rutgers College Honors Program at Rutgers University and my medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where I graduated with distinction in Oncology Research. I then completed my Internal Medicine residency at Montefiore Medical Center and a fellowship in Hematology and Medical Oncology at New York University School of Medicine, where I stayed on for an additional year of training to focus on melanoma translational research.
