Chenyang Zhan, MD, PhD
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.

About Me
- Assistant Attending Radiologist
I am an interventional radiologist specializing in the use of image-guided minimally invasive techniques to treat cancer. I perform a wide array of procedures, including biopsies for cancer diagnosis, mediport placement for chemotherapy, and treatment administration directly to tumors using just a small needle or catheter. The procedures that I execute usually require no breathing tube, have a lower risk than surgery, and frequently do not require a hospital stay.

My research focuses on combining current treatment modalities used in cancer care, and interventional radiology is at the forefront of this innovation. I am studying the protentional synergy of interventional procedures and systemic therapies, such as immunotherapy. The interventional strategies that we use to destroy tumors can potentially prime the immune system, creating a systemic anti-tumor effect. This process resembles a vaccination against the tumor. I am fortunate to carry out this research with collaborators from the Melanoma Disease Management Team and Sloan Kettering Institute.
Modern medicine is fast evolving. As a radiologist, I am an expert in imaging, an essential tool that helps patients and physicians understand the diagnosis and ultimately, evaluate and select the best intervention. It is my goal to help my patients interpret their imaging results before, during, and after treatment to help them make the most informed decisions about their care. I look forward to establishing a healing relationship with each of my patients; every smile and handshake are opportunities for remedy. It is a privilege to team up with my patients and their caretakers to stand together against cancer here at MSK.
An interventional (IN-ter-VEN-shun-al) radiologist is a doctor with special training in using image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat disease.
