Biography
Thomas Bradley, MD, is a medical oncologist and system head for genitourinary cancers at the Northwell Health Cancer Institute. He manages prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancers using combinations of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Dr. Bradley primarily practices at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital. “I specialize in individualized, evidence-based care,” he says. “I assess the patient’s physical functioning, the genetics of a tumor and laboratory test results to create the best treatment plan.” Dr. Bradley developed an interest in medicine while in high school and became an emergency department volunteer at a local hospital. He later volunteered as an emergency medical technician for an ambulance that served his neighborhood. During medical school at the University of Monterrey School of Medicine, he became fascinated by pathology and how changes in one cell could lead to the development of cancer. He went on to complete an internal medicine residency and a hematology and medical oncology fellowship at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center. At Northwell, Dr. Bradley offers a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. He works with pathologists, radiologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists, nurse practitioners, urologists, genetic counselors and social workers to provide comprehensive care plans to achieve the best patient outcomes. In addition to seeing patients, Dr. Bradley is an associate professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. His professional memberships include the American Society of Hematology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Association for Cancer Research, and the American College of Physicians. He has been a Castle Connolly Top Doctor, New York Metro Area (digital guide) for the last several years. His research interests include how cancer affects older patients and their caregivers. He has also been the principal investigator on numerous trials sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry and the National Cancer Institute. For Dr. Bradley, helping people to best of his ability is the most fulfilling part of his work. “Knowing that I’ve provided people with excellent care and support to manage the cancer and any symptoms the disease or its treatment causes is incredibly rewarding,” he says.
