Lara A. Dunn, MD - MSK Head and Neck Medical Oncologist

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.

Dr. Scheinberg is a physician-scientist who specializes in the care of patients with leukemia and is also investigating new therapeutic approaches to cancer, both in the clinic and in the laboratory. His research is focused on discovering and developing novel, specific immunotherapeutic agents. These include monoclonal antibodies that target the cell surface of cancers, targeted radiopharmaceuticals that deliver radioactive particles including alpha particles or alpha particle nanogenerators, targeted nanodevices that selectively kill cancer cells, and therapeutic vaccines that target the oncogene products that cause the cancers.

I am a medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of lung cancer. I work with a team of experts including surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, and nurses. Our goal is to provide the best possible care and support for patients and their families.
