Justin Lebenthal, MD

About Me

At NYU Langone, I am a medical oncologist who believes in treating the whole person, not just the disease. My approach to care is holistic, taking into account all factors that influence wellbeing, including mental, spiritual, financial, and logistical stressors. I derive immense satisfaction from connecting with my patients, understanding their unique histories, thoughts, and concerns, and being entrusted with their care during challenging times.

My primary expertise lies in genitourinary cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancers. During my time at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, I designed clinical trials for these conditions. However, my comprehensive training also extends to hematologic and solid tumor cancers. At NYU Langone, my mission is to enhance the treatment of genitourinary cancers and improve access to clinical trials and comprehensive cancer care closer to patients’ homes.

Throughout my career, I have been driven by proactive healthcare engagement and the desire to establish long-standing relationships with my patients. I am committed to tailoring all treatment decisions to the patient, with their informed input, and am always open to considering any treatments that can potentially benefit them. My affiliation with NYU Langone allows me to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my father, a cardiologist, who taught me the honor of caring for individuals in their time of need. My fascination with the human body and affinity for biology and chemistry further fueled my desire to pursue a medical career. The complexities of oncology, the opportunity to establish long-term relationships with patients, and the constant innovation and exciting research in the field drew me to specialize in this area. I am proud to be part of the NYU Langone team, providing high-level, cutting-edge care close to patients’ homes.
