Anthony Sisk

Professor Anthony E. Sisk is a distinguished figure in the realm of pathology, with his work primarily centered on advancing the understanding and treatment of prostate cancer. As an HS Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine, he has made significant contributions to the field through his innovative research and dedication to improving diagnostic techniques. Professor Sisk's research is particularly focused on the utilization of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of prostate cancer. His work in this area aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of prostate cancer diagnosis, thereby improving patient outcomes. He has been instrumental in developing targeted prostate biopsy techniques using PET/CT imaging, which have shown promise in increasing the precision of cancer detection. In addition to his work on prostate cancer, Professor Sisk has explored the use of patient-specific 3D-printed molds. These molds are designed to align in vivo MRI with ex vivo MRI and histopathology, providing a more comprehensive understanding of tumor characteristics and aiding in the development of personalized treatment plans. Beyond prostate cancer, Professor Sisk's research interests extend to other urological conditions, including renal cell carcinoma and testicular germ cell tumors. His work in these areas reflects his commitment to advancing the field of pathology and improving the diagnostic and therapeutic options available to patients. Professor Sisk's contributions to the field are not only limited to his research but also include his role as an educator and mentor. He is dedicated to training the next generation of pathologists, sharing his knowledge and expertise with students and colleagues alike. His work continues to have a profound impact on the field of pathology, particularly in the areas of cancer detection and diagnosis.
