Dr. David C. Madoff is Chief of Interventional Radiology and Professor of Radiology at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He is an internationally-recognized expert in Interventional Oncology. His clinical interests are wide-ranging and include visceral vascular, hepatobiliary and genitourinary interventions, various embolotherapy and percutaneous biopsy techniques and many specialized Interventional Oncology therapies. In particular, Dr. Madoff is world-renowned for his research on preoperative portal vein embolization, a technique used to improve the safety of major hepatic resection. This technique, based on the liver’s ability to regenerate, is used in patients with liver cancer to increase the size of the anticipated liver remnant before surgery. Without this procedure, many patients with potentially resectable disease would not be eligible for curative resection. Dr. Madoff also treats cancer patients with transarterial and ablative approaches in the liver and other organ systems such as lung, kidney and bone.

Dr. Madoff is a leader in academic radiology and is an invited speaker at numerous national and international meetings. He authored or co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles, has written more than 30 book chapters and served as co-editor of three textbooks. Dr. Madoff currently serves as Deputy Editor for Radiology, the flagship scientific journal of the Radiological Society of North America and served as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology from 2007 to 2010. Dr. Madoff also serves on the editorial boards of other publications that include Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology and Seminars in Interventional Radiology and reviews manuscripts for many other leading scientific journals including The Lancet, Journal of Hepatology, Surgery, Annals of Surgical Oncology and Urology. Dr. Madoff served in many intra- and extramural leadership roles and received many honors and awards for his contributions.
