Adie Friedman, MD
Interventional Radiologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.
Areas of Expertise
My Specialties
- Minimally invasive treatment of thrombosis (clotting) in cancer patients
- image-guided biopsies and thermal ablation of tumors
- arterial and venous interventions for a variety of cancer types and cancer-related complications.
About Me
- Program Director, IR Fellowship
I am an interventional radiologist, a doctor who uses X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI to perform procedures less invasively. These procedures are typically performed under moderate intravenous sedation instead of general anesthesia, allowing for quicker recovery times.

I discovered Interventional Radiology as a Radiology resident when we performed minimally invasive procedures on disabled veterans with arterial blockages in the legs. It was truly gratifying to see the patients the day after the procedure, walking up and down the hall without pain. The fact that the procedure was done through a tiny skin nick, with no incision to heal, was also a big plus. Over the years, I have applied similar techniques to cancer patients using minimally invasive techniques to treat a variety of conditions.
I believe it’s important to consider the entire person when treating cancer patients, weighing the pros and cons of every intervention and providing patient-centered care. Collaboration with our surgical and medical colleagues is critical to get their perspectives and consensus on the best treatment options.
An interventional (IN-ter-VEN-shun-al) radiologist is a doctor with special training in using image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat disease.
