Overview
Sachin Majumdar, MD, is an endocrinologist and director of the Endocrine Neoplasia Program.
Dr. Majumdar specializes in treating diseases of the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. He is also director of the Active Surveillance Program for Small Papillary Thyroid Cancers.
Small papillary thyroid cancers, he notes, are often slow-growing and nonaggressive cancers that can sometimes be managed non-surgically with regular screenings. “It’s very satisfying to be able to help people with these types of cancers. We can watch them or, if they are more serious and need treatment, we can have them surgically removed and people do well,” he says.
When he first meets a patient, Dr. Majumdar says he makes it a priority to walk them through their diagnosis and options, but not to overwhelm them with too much information at once.
“I let them know what the roadmap looks like and what to expect. But I remind them that we will take it one step at a time because at a first visit, nobody remembers everything. I say, ‘Here’s the first step and we’re dong this,’ and we go from there and talk,” he says.
Dr. Majumdar became interested in endocrinology by way of nutrition. “In college, I majored in nutrition, which got me interested in sugar and fat metabolism and diabetes,” he says. “When I decided on medical school, endocrinology was almost right away a great fit for me because I had a background in insulin, diabetes, and metabolism, and endocrinology provides a landscape of how hormones and nutrients are involved in regulating the way we live.”
Dr. Majumdar’s research interests include clinical aspects of thyroid cancer management and separately, hypertriglyceridemia and its relationship to nutrient take and pancreatitis. “Also, participating in medical education has always been one of the most meaningful aspects of my work,” he says.
