Neil J. Shah, MBBS
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 genitourinary medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) who is an expert in treating kidney cancer. I focus on advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC), where cancer cells spread from the kidney to other parts of the body.
I treat patients using the latest therapies. This includes immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and a combination of these treatments for patients with advanced RCC.
As a clinical researcher, I focus on developing new treatments for kidney cancer. My research includes clinical trials that test new immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and combination treatments.
I also work to improve treatment options for people with advanced and metastatic RCC. I conduct real-world research that looks at treatment patterns and sequencing, and treatment results in patients with kidney cancer.
I have an interest in recognizing and managing side effects of cancer therapy. These could be related to the immune system or side effects of cancer treatments. I work closely with many different teams to deliver care that is personal, and help patients maintain quality of life.
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.

Disclosures
Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.
MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
