Get to Know Dr. Bruno R. Bastos

Medical oncologist Dr. Bruno Bastos specializes in the treatment of abdominal cancers and in developing novel systemic therapies, including personalized immunotherapy.

Bastos joined the Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health South Florida in 2019 after serving at Cleveland Clinical Florida in nearby Weston.

He is a part of a multidisciplinary team that treats kidney, prostate, bladder, urethra, ureter, mesothelioma and several other cancers.

The Miami Cancer Institute is part of the well-respected Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Alliance.

Bastos has extensive experience with clinical trials and is board certified in medical oncology, medical hematology and internal medicine.

He is best known for advancing targeted and hormone therapies, particularly immunotherapy, both in the adjuvant and metastatic settings.

“Immunotherapy is a more natural way of treating cancer, rather than attacking the cancer cells with chemicals,” Bastos said. “Immunotherapy allows the patient’s own immune system to do the job it is supposed to do, which is fight the cancer.”

In 2021, Bastos presented his latest research at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s Annual Meeting. His work focused on a glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta inhibitor in patients with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors.
