Hi, I’m Dr. Massimiliano Spaliviero, a urologic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My patients call me Dr. Max.

I trained here at MSK, and the main reason I stayed is the incredible level of collaboration I see every day. It’s never just one opinion guiding your care. It’s a team of the brightest minds in the field all building a thoughtful, personalized plan specifically for you.

As a surgeon, I carry that team’s expertise into the operating room. When surgery is necessary for treating prostate cancer, I use advanced, minimally-invasive techniques. A robotic system allows me to operate with greater precision and through very small incisions, which often leads to a smoother recovery.

I also specialize in precision biopsies, which use detailed imaging to accurately identify areas that may be cancerous. This high-level date helps us make more informed, confident decisions about the right treatment plan.

My goal is for you to always feel heard, with your questions answered, and a clear understanding of what comes next. What makes medicine meaningful to me is working with a team that shares the same deep commitment to you and to your family.
