Hikmat A. Al-Ahmadie, MD
Pathologist
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
- Attending Pathologist
I am a board-certified pathologist in anatomic and clinical pathology with expertise in the surgical pathology of tumors of the genitourinary system. Within our group, every year we examine thousands of biopsies and resections from tumors of the prostate, kidney, bladder, and testis. This enables us to establish the correct diagnosis and the extent of these tumors.

Of particular academic interest to me are tumors that develop in the urinary bladder. Currently I am researching the molecular and genetic aberrations of these tumors to identify markers that could help with prognosis and treatment decisions. This research is being conducted both in the Department of Pathology as well as through collaborations with other investigators at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
I also serve as one of the principal investigators from Memorial Sloan Kettering in the study of bladder cancer conducted through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) — a national effort coordinated by the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute to improve the ability to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer through a systematic exploration of all genomic changes that occur in human cancers.

A pathologist is a doctor who uses a microscope to make a diagnosis from cell and tissue samples. They analyze the samples to learn the cause and effects of a health condition.
