Daniel C. Danila, MD
Genitourinary 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
- Associate Attending Physician
I am a board-certified medical oncologist and am part of a multidisciplinary team that provides compassionate and expert care to patients with prostate cancer and other genitourinary malignancies. My colleagues and I provide patients with individualized treatment approaches that include novel hormonal agents and biologics along with advanced diagnostic methods to ensure that patients receive the most effective treatment and have the best possible outcome.

My laboratory research is focused on identifying biomarkers in prostate cancer that can help doctors select the most effective approach for each individual. My research is also focused on accelerating the pace at which laboratory discoveries are brought to the clinic. In related clinical studies I am investigating whether it is possible to use biologic profiles of androgen receptor signaling in patients’ tumor cells to predict their response to treatment.
I am an author of numerous studies in these areas, and received a Young Investigator Award and two Merit Awards from the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and a Physician Research Training Award from the Department of Defense.
A genitourinary (jeh-nih-toh-YOOR-ih-nayr-ee) oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in the genitourinary (GU) system. This includes bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, and testicular cancers.
