Iris Y. Sheng, MD
We 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.

Get to Know Me
I’m a medical oncologist who is an expert in diagnosing and treating genitourinary cancers. This includes:
I see patients at MSK Basking Ridge and MSK Monmouth in New Jersey.
Navigating a cancer diagnosis is difficult, and my goal is to make sure you don’t walk that path alone. I believe strongly in partnering with you and your family through every stage. I provide clear guidance, the latest treatment options, and steady support so that you feel empowered throughout your care.
As your doctor, I focus on tailoring standard treatments to reduce side effects. I adjust duration of treatment with the goal of giving you the best results while preserving quality of life. If you’re eligible, I make sure you have access to the latest clinical trials. This helps you receive the latest treatments that may not be available elsewhere.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, staying active outdoors, and spending time with my family.
I'm a genitourinary (GU) medical oncologist, which is a cancer doctor who specializes in genitourinary (jeh-nih-toh-YOOR-ih-nayr-ee) cancers. This includes bladder, kidney, penis, prostate, and testicular cancers.
