Ryan Matthew Kahn, M.D., Joins Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute as a Gynecologic Oncologist
MIAMI, Fla. – July 25, 2025 – Fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologist Ryan Matthew Kahn, M.D., MHS, FACOG, has joined Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute. He specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques — particularly robotic-assisted surgery — which provide patients with faster recovery, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and improved cosmetic outcomes.
Dr. Kahn incorporates clinical genetics in his practice to improve care and prevention strategies for patients and families carrying BRCA and other hereditary breast and ovarian cancer gene variants. He also specializes in ovarian cancer cytoreductive surgery, which aims to remove all visible disease during ovarian cancer surgery. This approach has been consistently linked to improved patient survival.
"We are pleased to welcome Dr. Kahn to our highly skilled team of cancer care specialists, dedicated to providing the highest quality care,” said Leonard Kalman, M.D., executive deputy medical director and chief medical officer at Miami Cancer Institute.
After earning a bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and a master’s degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. Dr. Kahn earned his medical degree with research distinction at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He completed a four-year obstetrics and gynecology residency at New York Presbyterian Hospital – Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. He remained in New York for four more years to complete a gynecologic oncology fellowship at the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
During his fellowship, Dr. Kahn was actively involved in research focused on innovative immunotherapies for ovarian cancer. His positive research results, which included delayed tumor growth and a transformed tumor microenvironment, offer a promising rationale for clinical trials in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. He also conducted research on the regionalization of care for gynecologic malignancies, which involves directing complex surgical procedures to specialized, high-volume centers and surgeons to improve patient outcomes by leveraging the expertise and experience of these centers. Dr. Kahn has published his research work in medical journals and textbooks presented his findings at national symposiums.
Dr. Kahn is committed to providing the highest level of surgical and medical care, rooted in compassion, excellence and respect for each patient’s background, values and goals. “I believe in shared decision-making, collaborating with my patients to ensure they are informed, involved and empowered to choose a treatment plan that best suits their life circumstances,” he said. “I promise to bring every ounce of skill and effort to help my patients achieve the best possible outcome — not just as their surgeon, but as their partner in care.”
Dr. Kahn will see patients at three Miami Cancer Institute Gynecologic Oncology locations: 8900 North Kendall Drive, Miami, FL 33176; 1228 South Pine Island Road, Suite 410, Plantation, FL 33324; and 3125 NW 84 Avenue, Doral, FL 33122.
