Dr. Hassan Shahryar Sheikh

Dr. Hassan Shahryar Sheikh is a Consultant in Haematology and Oncology at Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City in Abu Dhabi. He holds board certifications from the American Boards of Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Hematology, and Medical Oncology, and brings 19 years of clinical experience in managing complex cancer and blood disorders. After earning his medical degree from Aga Khan University in Pakistan, he completed rigorous training in the United States: an internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, followed by fellowships in Geriatrics at the University of Rochester and in Hematology and Medical Oncology at Penn State.

Dr. Sheikh's clinical expertise spans blood cancers (lymphoma, leukaemia, myeloma) and a broad range of solid tumours including breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, kidney, bladder, oesophageal, stomach, pancreatic, and gynaecologic cancers. He diagnoses and treats both benign and malignant disorders affecting blood cells, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. A particular strength is his specialised focus on geriatric oncology—providing comprehensive assessment and management for older adults with cancer, an area where age-related complexity demands tailored approaches.

Dr. Sheikh is fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi. His research interests centre on clinical trials of novel cancer agents, outcomes research, and the emerging field of geriatric oncology. He is well suited for patients seeking expert multidisciplinary cancer care, particularly those managing cancer in later life.
