Physician Assistant
Jamie Petrancosta

I’m a physician assistant (PA) with more than 9 years of experience in urologic cancers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). I care for people with prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and upper tract urothelial cancer.

I have a special interest in hereditary cancers and I’m a certified genetic cancer risk assessment specialist. I created the Hereditary Urologic Cancers Program at MSK. I see patients at the Sidney Kimmel Center for Prostate and Urologic Cancers.

When patients meet with me, they are often concerned about their diagnosis. I take the time to clearly explain the treatment options, answer their questions honestly, and guide them through each step of the process. My goal is for patients to truly feel supported throughout their medical journey.

I chose a career in healthcare because it helps me collaborate, keep learning, and connect with patients. I find it meaningful to combine clinical expertise with compassionate care.

When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking, spending time with my family, and walking my dog in Central Park.
