Years ago, I sat beside a loved one who faced a cancer diagnosis. That experience showed me the profound difference a physician can make – not just in treating a disease, but in helping a family hold on to hope.
Hi, I'm Dr. Behfar Ehdaie, a urologic oncologist and prostate cancer surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I've dedicated my career to research and developing new surgical techniques that reduce the burden of prostate cancer on your life.
As an experienced surgeon, I use advanced robotics with extreme precision. I even developed new techniques to protect your quality of life, including urinary and sexual function.
Beyond surgery, I’ve led landmark clinical trials so my patients can benefit from the novel treatments like focal therapy, an option that targets only the cancer while preserving the healthy parts of the prostate.
If your diagnosis doesn’t require immediate surgery, I also oversee one of the world’s largest active surveillance clinics, dedicated to safely monitoring your health over time.
I know that making treatment decisions can be especially hard. That’s why I’ve spent years finding better ways for patients and doctors to talk through risk and decision-making, so you’ll have total confidence in the plan we create together. My goal is to replace fear with clarity and support you every step of the way.
