Ariel E. Marciscano, M.D. Specialties: Radiation Oncology

I specialize in caring for people with cancer with a specific focus on genitourinary (prostate, bladder, kidney) cancers and metastatic cancers. My primary goals are to deliver excellent, compassionate, patient-centered care and to support my patients and their loved ones through their cancer treatment. I firmly believe that cancer care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. My philosophy is to educate and empower patients with information about their diagnosis so that they can confidently select a treatment plan that is individualized to their specific needs, personal preferences, and values.
I am deeply committed to improving the lives of people with cancer through research and have been involved in both lab research and clinical research for over a decade. At Weill Cornell Medicine, I serve as the Director of the Radiation Therapy Preclinical Core and my laboratory focuses on optimizing radiation-immunotherapy combinations. I am also involved in translational research and clinical trial efforts as part of an initiative to offer our patients cutting-edge technology and innovative treatments within the Department of Radiation Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine.
