Eric Alan Singer, MD FACS

I am a urologic surgeon with expertise in the management of genitourinary malignancies and a special interest in using robotic and minimally invasive surgery to treat cancers of the prostate, kidney, bladder and adrenal glands. My goal is to educate and empower my patients so that they can choose the best treatment option available, whether it is surgery, active surveillance, radiation, systemic therapy, or a clinical trial. To that end, I work closely with my Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology colleagues in order to offer patients an effective, individualized, and comprehensive cancer treatment plan that minimizes side effects and maximizes quality-of-life. I joined the faculty of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in 2012 after completing a clinical and research fellowship in the Urologic Oncology Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). I received my medical degree (MD) with Honors in Research from Georgetown University along with a master’s degree (MA) in bioethics. I performed my general surgery and urologic surgery training at the University of Rochester Medical Center where I also did a fellowship in clinical ethics. As a native of New Jersey, it is an honor to join our state’s only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. At the Cancer Institute, I am a member of the Prostate Cancer Program and the Clinical Investigations Program. My research is focused on the development of new treatments for patients with genitourinary malignancies through clinical trials. I am involved with both cooperative group and investigator-initiated trials. At the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, I am an Assistant Professor of Surgery within the Division of Urology.
