Surena F. Matin is an Endowed Professor and holds the Monteleone Family Foundation Distinguished Professorship for Research of Bladder and Kidney Cancers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he is a tenured professor of urology and oncology. His research focuses on surgical oncology for genitourinary cancers, with particular emphasis on kidney cancer, upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), and non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma subtypes. His recent work includes evaluating neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycles before surgery for high-risk UTUC, rethinking postoperative surveillance for non-clear cell RCC, and characterizing genotype-phenotype associations in Lynch syndrome-associated UTUC. He also investigates germline testing, immune checkpoint inhibitors in mismatch repair-deficient UTUC, and quality-of-life outcomes among renal cell carcinoma patients. His international collaborations include multi-center cohort analyses of endoscopic management for UTUC.
