James S. Wysock, MD

I discovered my interest in medicine while I was an undergraduate studying chemical engineering, taking courses in the biological sciences. My interest grew and I ultimately decided to shift my career out of the laboratory and into the world of healthcare. My career in medicine combines my interest in the sciences and my desire to have a positive influence on the world around me.

My specialty is urologic oncology, which includes cancers of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, and testes. With the technology and advanced treatments available to me at NYU Langone, I am able to provide people with the most accurate diagnoses and highest level of care.

The field of urologic oncology often involves complex and sensitive decisions, and I believe that no single treatment is appropriate for all people. I aim to ensure that each person I treat is highly involved in making treatment decisions. Modern cancer care requires a team approach, and I routinely partner with my many excellent colleagues in oncology, radiology, pathology, and radiation oncology to offer the best care available for each patient.

I conduct research on advanced imaging techniques and treatment tools to optimize cancer diagnostics and therapy. Through thoughtful clinical trial design and execution, I hope to bring these novel options to patients. In addition to my clinical duties at NYU Langone, I also serve as the chief of the urology service at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue.
