Francois Cornelis
MD, PhD
Attending
Professor of Radiology
MSKCC
Weill Cornell Medical College

I am a neuro interventional radiologist who specializes in minimally invasive image-guided therapies that allow for pain palliation and tumor control in the bones, spine, head, and neck. I use a variety of technologies to treat tumors and cancer-related pain, such as radiofrequency and microwave energy, cryotherapy, focused ultrasound, and electroporation, as well as image-guided modalities, including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), navigation software, MRI, robotics, and PET-CT. I also have experience with cement augmentation (cementoplasty, kyphoplasty), intra-arterial chemotherapy infusion; and embolization of spine and head and neck tumors.

I received my MD in 2003 and completed my radiology training and my fellowship in 2008 and 2010, respectively, at the University of Bordeaux in France. I stayed on the faculty, with appointments in Radiology at the Bergonié Institute (2010) and the University of Bordeaux (2012). In 2013, I received a Fulbright scholarship and spent two years at MSK, the first year as a research fellow and the second year as a research associate. I obtained my PhD in applied mathematics in 2015 at the University of Bordeaux. I was appointed as a tenured professor of radiology in France in 2017 and served as Chief of the Department of Interventional Radiology and Oncology at the Sorbonne University in Paris before heading to New York. Since 2021, I am serving as faculty of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Weil Cornell Medical College.
