I perform cancer surgery because it’s one of the most direct ways I can help someone at one of the most stressful moments of their life.
Hi, I’m Dr. Christopher Gaffney, a urologic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I specialize in caring for patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
Our first step together will be taking the time to calmly walking through your diagnosis and what it means.
Surgery may be part of that conversation, including steps we will take to reduce the risk of the cancer spreading or coming back. We’ll talk about treating your cancer while preserving your urinary and sexual quality of life.
MSK has the best urology program in the country, and together we’ll lean on that to explore every treatment option available, including clinical trials designed specifically for high-risk patients.
Currently, we’re studying how to use immunotherapy to activate the body's own defenses against prostate cancer, in combination with surgery, to improve the chance of a long-term cure. I believe this is the future of cancer care, and it’s happening every day here at MSK.
What fulfills me most is seeing my patients doing well and getting back to their lives. That’s what’s on my mind when we meet, and together we’ll do everything possible to get you there.
