Adam Talenfeld, MD, MS, FSIR, is an Associate Professor of Clninical Radiology at Weill Cornell Medical College and an Associate Attending Radiologist at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Dr. Talenfeld earned board certification by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Radiology in 2008 and in Interventional Radiology (CAQ) in 2011. A native of Arizona with New York roots, Dr. Talenfeld graduated Alpha Omega Alpha from the University of Arizona College of Medicine on full scholarship before completing his residency in diagnostic radiology and fellowship in interventional radiology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York. 

Dr. Talenfeld's research expertise includes population data and propensity score methods to inform health services and comparative effectiveness research (CER). CER seeks to directly compare different methods of diagnosis and treatment in order to empower patients, health care providers and policy makers facing individual and societal decisions every day.

Dr. Talenfeld's clinical practice and clinical research focus on minimally invasive, image-guided interventional procedures for the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers and other tumors, a field also known as interventional oncology. Alone or in combination with traditional surgery or chemotherapy,  treatments such as trans-arterial radioembolization (a.k.a. selective internal radiation therapy), trans-arterial chemoembolization and percutaneous thermal tumor ablation offer improved survival and quality of life and, in some cases, cure. Patients receiving many of the procedures Dr. Talenfeld performs will go home the same day; others after only a short hospital stay.

Dr. Talenfeld is fluent in Spanish.

Frequently performed procedures:

  1. Trans-arterial liver tumor therapy, including radioembolization (a.k.a. selective internal radiotherapy) and radiation segmentectomy
  2. Percutaneous tumor ablation, including microwave and ethanol injection
  3. Chemotherapy infusion port placement and other vascular access procedures
  4. Image guided needle biopsy
