Urology

I am a urologic surgeon with expertise in the treatment of urologic tumors — which include bladder, urethral, and kidney cancers.

I am currently heading clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to evaluate new therapies for the treatment of high-risk superficial bladder cancer in patients who are resistant to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy, the standard treatment. I also have expertise in nerve-sparing radical cystectomy followed by bladder reconstruction.

I have written a number of articles, and I am on the editorial boards of and a reviewer for several peer-reviewed journals.
