Wassim Abida, MD, PhD - MSK Genitourinary Oncologist

As a physician-scientist and board-certified medical oncologist. I am devoted to the care of cancer patients in the clinic and to gaining knowledge in the laboratory of how cancers develop. My research focus is on the pathogenesis and treatment of prostate cancer.

I am a medical oncologist and a laboratory scientist. As a member of the Genitourinary Oncology Service, I specialize in treating cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testis, and other related cancers. I treat my patients with chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or combinations of these drugs, and I work with other cancer experts including surgeons and radiation oncologists to develop an individual treatment plan for each patient.

I am a medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of prostate cancer. I’m fortunate to be a member of both the Immunotherapeutics Service and the Genitourinary Service because advances in one field can often help in another.
