Daniel Shasha, MD
Radiation Oncologist
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
- Attending Radiation Oncologist
I am a board-certified radiation oncologist with more than 20 years of experience.
I have cared for nearly 4,000 men with prostate cancer using advanced minimally invasive technologies. These include radioactive seed implantation, called brachytherapy, and image-guided radiation therapy. Through my leadership roles and contributions in clinical medicine, research, and education, I have established an international reputation for excellence in treating prostate cancer.

I recognize the importance of caring for the whole person. My patients’ physical and emotional well-being are my top priority. I am firmly committed to ensuring that all levels of their experience and care are delivered with quality, compassion, and empathy. This is elevated by a collaborative multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach with my patients, their loved ones, and all members of their healthcare team.
A radiation oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in using radiation therapy (RT) to treat cancer with radiation.
