Summary

• Dr. Madoff is Professor of Radiology, Vice Chair for Clinical Research and Section Chief, Interventional Radiology at Yale School of Medicine. He is an internationally-recognized expert in Interventional Oncology, a subspecialty within IR that offers patients with various forms of cancer minimally invasive curative, adjuvant and palliative treatment options. 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 an invited speaker at numerous national and international meetings. He authored or co-authored over 180 peer-reviewed scientific articles, has written more than 35 book chapters and served as co-editor of four textbooks.
