Alexander I. Sankin
<p>Dr. Sankin is an academic surgeon in the Department of Urology, at Montefiore Medical Center with a clinical focus on surgical approaches to the management of urologic malignancies of the upper urinary tract and bladder. His academic focus is divided between clinical and translational research studying emerging treatments and techniques central to the surgical care of patients with urologic cancers. </p>
<p>Dr. Sankin is the site-Principal Investigator for multiple clinical trials studying novel therapeutics for patients with bladder cancer who wish to avoid radical cystectomy. As an active member of multiple clinical trial consortiums including Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and the Society of Urologic Oncology Clinical Trials Consortium, Dr. Sankin speardeaded the development of a bladder cancer clinical trials program at Einstein. </p>
<p>His translational research focuses on characterizing the tumor immune microenvironment of bladder tumors and the role of novel checkpoint molecules as relevant therpeutic targets. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dr. Sankin current research program focuses on the translational application of immune-oncology to the treatment of urologic cancer.</p>
Dr. Sankin's clinical specialty is surgical approaches to treating urological malignancies, including prostate, testicular, renal and bladder cancer.<quillbot-extension-portal></quillbot-extension-portal>
Building on his clinical focus, Dr. Sankin’s research centers on bladder-preserving treatment options in patients with high-risk bladder cancer and the development of new immunotherapies for bladder cancer. <quillbot-extension-portal></quillbot-extension-portal>
