Background

In February of 2013, Martin G. Sanda, MD, an internationally recognized prostate cancer surgeon and scientist, was appointed Chair of the Department of Urology at Emory University School of Medicine and service chief for Emory Healthcare. In that capacity, he will also serve as Director of the Prostate Cancer Center, which will be established within Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute.

Sanda joins Emory from Harvard Medical School, where he was Professor of Surgery in urology, and from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he served as Director of the Prostate Cancer Center. He was also the co-leader of the Prostate Cancer Program at the Dana Farber Cancer Center.
Sanda is principal investigator of three multi-center consortium studies funded by the National Cancer Institute and the Prostate Cancer Foundation that seek to develop urine tests for detecting prostate cancer; to develop benchmarks for improving quality of life among cancer survivors; and to develop innovative prostate cancer vaccines. These studies have enrolled over 4,400 patients with findings published in leading medical journals including the Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine.

Sanda’s clinical practice, which includes robotic prostatectomy and robotic cystectomy, is focused on developing new surgical and non-surgical approaches to cancer care and to improving the quality of life among cancer survivors.After receiving his BA in molecular biophysics and biochemistry from Yale University cum laude in 1983, Sanda went on to receive his MD degree at Columbia University in 1987. He then trained as a general surgery resident at the Medical College of Virginia and as a surgical oncology fellow at the National Cancer Institute. He completed his urology residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Sanda has served as Chair of the Prostate and Genito-Urinary Collaborative Group of the National Cancer Institute’s Early Detection Research Network (2007-2010), has spearheaded two nationwide, NCI Cooperative Group prostate cancer clinical trials, has served on numerous federal funding review panels, and has served on the Research Council of the American Urological Association since 2011. Sanda has more than 150 peer-reviewed publications, and his work has been cited more than 5,000 times in biomedical literature.

One star One star One star One star One star	26/05/2022	Dr and staff were great
One star One star One star One half star Empty star	20/05/2022	I must be completely honest here I found Dr. Sanda to be incredibly rude upfront, and inconsiderate of my feelings, poor listening skills and frustrating to deal with. However, after he started finally asking me real questions and letting me tell him what was on my mind he did appear to become more caring. The first onslaught of walking into his office was "OK go ahead and bend over We're gonna get this over with first " I would've much prefer he sit down with me and asked me point blank tell me what's on your mind and what do you know about your prostate problems That would've been a much better approach and made the visit much more bearable for me. His staff talks very highly of him and I know that he has an international reputation but the initial bedside manner was deplorable. I'm going to stick with him for the time being but the moment I feel like I'm being blown off or uncared for you will hear from me again. Hopefully, he will have the same warmth and caring that I experienced towards the end of the visit.
One star One star One star One star One star	19/05/2022	Having both Dr's available was helpful. Also was helpful that my records friend m Dr Galloway concerning bariatric reconstruction were reviewed.
