Mohummad Minhaj Siddiqui, MD

Dr. Mohummad Siddiqui, a fellowship-trained specialist in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, specializes in surgical management of urologic cancers, such as prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancer. His focus is on complex cases, such as patients with extensive medical histories or with aggressive, complex tumors.

Dr. Siddiqui is dedicated to providing the highest quality, cutting-edge care to his patients while minimizing the impact that treatment has on their quality of life. He utilizes the newest models DaVinci robots when appropriate for his surgical procedures, but recognizes that when a disease can be managed without surgery or with minimal intervention, these options may be best. 

He maintains active research programs testing the use of diet to improve cancer outcomes and the use of imaging to better identify and treat urologic cancers, and he is developing a program investigating approaches such as focal brachytherapy, irreversible electroporation (IRE) and cryotherapy.

He was named a "Top Doctor" in prostate cancer surgery and urology by Baltimore magazine from 2018 through 2021. In 2018, he was chosen as one of Baltimore's Top 40 under 40.

Dr. Siddiqui joined UMMC in 2014 after completing training at MIT, Harvard, and the NIH. He has held leadership roles within the American Urologic Association, American College of Surgeons, the Commission on Cancer, the Society of Basic Urologic Research and the American College of Radiology.

He also has served as a consultant or grant reviewer for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), the Movember Foundation and the Department of Defense. He is a consulting editor for the Nature publication Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases.
