Bio

Dr. Reiter is the Bing Professor of Urologic Oncology and Director of UCLA's prostate cancer program. He attended Stanford Medical School, completed his urologic training at Stanford and Baylor College of Medicine, and completed additional fellowship training in urological cancer at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Reiter was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the Urologic Oncology branch of the National Cancer Institute.

His clinical and research interests include improving management of prostate cancer using functional MRI and molecular imaging of the disease, robotic prostatectomy, molecular biology of prostate cancer progression, and precision medicine and clinical trials for management of high-risk and metastatic prostate cancer. He specializes in robotically-assisted prostatectomy and cystectomy, as well as open surgery, with robotic experience dating back to 2004, for bladder, prostate, and renal malignancies. Dr. Reiter is involved in all aspects of urologic oncology, with an emphasis on prostate cancer, and brings extensive experience in robotic surgery and the applications of translational research and the latest in MRI and molecular imaging to the management of men with this disease.

He is Principal Investigator on UCLA's Prostate Cancer SPORE, a 12 million dollar federal grant that is focused on translational research in prostate cancer.

Interests
  • Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy

    Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

    Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is also called benign prostatic hypertrophy. It is when the prostate gland becomes very large and may cause problems passing urine. BPH is not cancer, and is a common part of aging.

  • Bladder Cancer

    Bladder Cancer: Introduction

    The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower pelvis. The bladder wall is made up of many layers of cells. It has an outer layer of muscle cells, and an inner lining layer of other kinds of cells. Bladder cancer can affect any one or all of these cells.

  • Elevated Prostate Serum Antigen
  • Hematuria

    Blood in the Urine

    Blood in the urine means there are red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine. Often the urine looks normal to the naked eye. But when checked under a microscope, it contains a high number of red blood cells. Here's what you need to know.

  • Kidney Cancer

    Kidney (Renal) Cancer: Introduction

    A kidney is made up of many layers of cells. Kidney cancer can affect any one or all of these layers. The cancer can stop the kidneys from working normally. Kidney cancer may spread to other parts of the body. When cancer spreads, it’s called metastasis.

  • Prostate Cancer

    Prostate Cancer: Introduction

    Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men (not counting skin cancer) in the U.S. It tends to occur mainly in older men. In most cases prostate cancer is found before it has spread to other parts of the body. Cancer that hasn’t spread is easier to treat and cure.

  • Robotic Surgery-Bladder

    Bladder Cancer: Surgery

    Your healthcare provider will use the stage of your cancer to help decide the type of surgery you should have. There are several types of surgery for bladder cancer. The physical and emotional changes from your cancer surgery may be significant. Ask your healthcare team for resources that will help you and your family manage the physical effects of cancer treatment, and also the mental and emotional changes.
