Connor J. Kinslow, MD
We post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

Get to Know Me
I am a radiation oncologist with special training in the treatment of brain tumors and genitourinary cancers. Some of the most common conditions I treat include:
- Primary brain tumors such as gliomas and glioblastomas
- Brain metastases or cancer that has spread to the brain from another part of the body
- Meningiomas
- Benign brain tumors
- Prostate cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Kidney cancer (renal cell cancer)
I am an expert in the latest radiation therapy techniques, including external beam radiotherapy, radiosurgery, and stereotactic body radiotherapy. I see patients at Memorial Hospital and the David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
I also lead a research laboratory that studies clinical outcomes and epidemiology for many types of cancers. I mainly focus on the molecular classification of adult gliomas and clinical or molecular markers that predict response to therapy.
As part of a research grant from the American Association for Suicide Prevention, I am studying factors that may increase the risk of suicide in men with prostate cancer. I am a member of NRG Oncology, a national group that designs clinical trials.
I am a New York City native, though I have also trained in Louisville, Memphis, Lexington, Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), Medellin (Colombia), Philadelphia, Palo Alto, San Diego, Chicago, and Rome (Italy). I completed my medical education and training at Columbia University/NewYork-Presbyterian.
My passion is in clinical radiation oncology and cancer research. When I am not working, I enjoy skiing, baseball, and going to the opera.
I'm a radiation oncologist, which is a cancer doctor with special training in using radiation therapy (RT) to treat cancer.
