Vikram Narayan
Overview
Dr. Vikram Narayan specializes in the surgical treatment of urologic cancers and has a research focus in the management of bladder and urothelial cancers.
Dr. Narayan received his MD degree from the University of Florida College of Medicine in 2013. His general surgery internship and urology residency were done at the University of Minnesota, after which he completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer in 2020. During his fellowship, Dr. Narayan completed a year of basic science research investigating novel therapeutics for urothelial cancers including intravesical gene therapy, immune-based treatment options, and the role of the urinary microbiome in bladder cancer treatment.
Dr. Narayan's current research interests concentrate on understanding the mechanisms that underlie bladder cancer treatment responses in order to improve patients' therapeutic options. He has led projects studying quality outcomes for patients being treated for urothelial cancer. Dr. Narayan additionally has an interest in methodologic research, and has published several peer-reviewed articles about the performance of clinical urologic research and the transparent reporting of randomized trials and systematic reviews.
