Alexander Chehrazi-Raffel,

Medical oncologist Alexander Chehrazi-Raffle, M.D., has always had an interest in medicine. As a highschooler he was inspired to become a physician when he shadowed doctors and saw firsthand the tremendous impact that physicians have on people’s lives. Dr. Chehrazi-Raffle specializes in caring for patients with genitourinary cancers and aims to provide a patient-centered experience where people play an active role in developing a treatment plan uniquely tailored to their needs. His goal in providing care is to educate, counsel and advocate for patients with the hope of improving patient outcomes and establishing a trusted bond that will endure for years to come. 

Dr. Chehrazi-Raffle has published more than a dozen peer-reviewed case studies and research papers. As a City of Hope fellow, he became co-investigator on four ongoing clinical trials when he joined the faculty. His work on a precision medicine study to help predict treatment success in patients with advanced kidney cancer was published in the Journal of Immunotherapy of Cancer and garnered a merit award at the International Kidney Cancer Symposium.
