Ellin Berman, MD - MSK Leukemia Specialist

My clinical expertise reflects an interest in lung cancer survivorship, but I am also interested in helping people who have incidental radiographic findings other than lung cancer. Many people who undergo chest x-rays or CT scans, for instance, learn that they have subtle abnormalities, such as small nodules, that are too small for biopsy.

I am a urologic surgeon with expertise in the treatment of urologic tumors — which include bladder, urethral, and kidney cancers. I am currently heading clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering to evaluate new therapies for the treatment of high-risk superficial bladder cancer in patients who are resistant to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy, the standard treatment. I also have expertise in nerve-sparing radical cystectomy followed by bladder reconstruction.

I am a urologic surgeon specializing in bladder cancer. My expertise is in devising treatment strategies designed to cure and improve the quality of life of patients with bladder cancer.
