The Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Genitourinary Oncology Program is proud to announce that our physicians have been identified as Castle Connolly 2017 Top Doctors for cancer in the United States and in the New York Metro area. This further validates our long-standing commitment to patient care and the advancement of medicine.
Each year, Castle Connolly, an established healthcare research company located in New York, bases its selection through a peer-review process, extensive research and screening of nearly 100,000 nominations. This nomination shows that not only do our physicians have a great reputation, but they are also recognized by other doctors who can attest to their commitment to the field of genitourinary oncology.
“Within the Genitourinary Oncology Program, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge care and access to clinical trials for people with all stages and types of prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer,” said Scott Tagawa, MD, Medical Director of the Genitourinary Oncology Research Program at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Diagnosing and using the latest technologies to molecularly characterize and find the right treatment for each patient is an individualized process. Physicians in the Genitourinary Oncology Program, as well as other cancer experts throughout Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian, utilize an approach to treatment known as precision medicine that assesses individual variability in the tumor’s genes and microenvironment. This allows our physicians and researchers to better understand and predict which treatment approach will work best for each patient, without using a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
According to Dr. Tagawa, “Patient care is our utmost priority and winning this prestigious Castle Connolly Top Doctors award is a testament to our dedication to improving the lives of our patients. I’m honored to be part of such a comprehensive and multidisciplinary team.”
Congratulations to the GU physicians on this outstanding achievement!
