Get to Know Me

I am an interventional radiologist, and I use CT, MRI, ultrasound, or x-ray (fluoroscopy) technology to perform “minimally invasive” procedures. Due to advances in technology I am able to perform procedures with needles rather than incisions. I use these innovative techniques to kill tumors cells by burning or freezing them (ablation) or blocking blood supply (embolization) to tumors in the liver, lung, and pancreas.

I am a member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hepatobiliary multi-disciplinary team and work closely with hepatobiliary surgeons, gastrointestinal oncologist, and gastroenterologists in order to provide best treatment options to fight liver, gall bladder, and pancreatic cancers.

My research interests are focused on finding new effective treatments for liver and pancreatic cancer. Additionally, I am very interested in maintaining patient’s quality of life and as such I am developing safer techniques for treatment of ascites, or fluid in the abdomen.

I received my MD degree from the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Shiraz, Iran and attended a general surgery residency at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. I completed a general surgery internship in the University of Pennsylvania Health System, and a diagnostic radiology residency at University Hospitals, Case Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio. This was followed by a fellowship in interventional radiology at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
