Johns Hopkins Medicine has named Dr. Gerald Andriole Jr. as director of urology for the National Capital Region, which includes Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. He will see patients at his office based at Sibley Memorial Hospital, 5255 Loughboro Road.
A fellowship-trained urologist with a focus on prostate cancer, Andriole performs image-guided focal ablation for prostate cancer, a procedure that targets prostate cancer precisely while sparing men side effects associated with prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
Andriole is a nationally recognized clinician and researcher. He serves as chairman of the prostate committee of the National Cancer Institute’s Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial and chairman of the prostate committee of the Society of Urologic Oncology’s Clinical Trials Consortium. He established an image-guided prostate biopsy approach using MRI and micro-ultrasound techniques at the Washington University School of Medicine, where he was chief of urologic surgery prior to joining Johns Hopkins Medicine.
For over 35 years, Andriole has contributed to research in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer screening and prevention. He has helped write over 400 peer-reviewed publications and serves on the editorial boards of prestigious journals.
Andriole received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He trained in surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital at the University of Rochester in New York and completed his urology residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Following this, he completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.
Sibley Memorial Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, in Northwest Washington, D.C., has served the community since its founding in 1890.
