Nadeem Riaz, MD, MSc - MSK Radiation Oncologist & Early Drug Development Specialist

Description

I am a radiation oncologist specializing in the treatment of cancers originating in the head and neck. I work closely with a team of surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and medical physicists to devise the best possible treatment plan for each individual patient. In my clinic, I ensure each patient understands his or her disease, the rationale for the recommended treatment, and any possible alternative therapies. I have experience with advanced techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy, which can maximize the effectiveness of radiation while simultaneously reducing toxicity from treatment.
