About

Dr. Oleksandr N. Kryvenko is a leading pathologist and researcher whose work bridges surgical oncology, urologic pathology, and cancer genetics. His primary research areas include prostate cancer disparities, renal cell carcinoma, and the molecular underpinnings of aggressive disease in men of African ancestry. Dr. Kryvenko has made major contributions by investigating how West African genetic ancestry influences prostate cancer risk and progression, notably through his 2024 study identifying potential founder mutations in the BRCA1 locus among Jamaican men with high-grade prostate cancer—a critical step toward understanding racial disparities in cancer outcomes. His work also extends to innovative surgical techniques, as demonstrated in his 2021 report on robotic partial nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy, showcasing his commitment to advancing minimally invasive approaches for complex renal tumors. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications and a citation count exceeding 1,500, Dr. Kryvenko’s research has shaped clinical guidelines and deepened our understanding of tumor biology. He is also recognized for his collaborative leadership in multicenter studies and his dedication to mentoring the next generation of physician-scientists.
