Alexander I. Sankin, MD, is Associate Professor, Urology at Montefiore Einstein. His clinical specialty is surgical approaches to treating urological malignancies, including prostate, testicular, renal and bladder cancer.
After earning his Master of Science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, Dr. Sankin earned his Doctor of Medicine from New York University in 2008 and completed his residency in surgery and urology at the State University of New York Downstate in 2013. He then completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 2015.
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. He 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 spearheaded the development of a bladder cancer clinical trials program at Einstein. His translational research focuses on characterizing the tumor immune microenvironment of bladder tumors and the role of novel checkpoint molecules as relevant therapeutic targets. His work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals.
Dr. Sankin is board certified and a member of the American Urological Association and the Society of Urologic Oncology.
