Dr. Brian H.Kushner

Dr. Brian H. Kushner, MD, is a pediatric oncologist at MSK Kids, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with a focused specialty in neuroblastoma, a cancer that can affect babies, children, teenagers, and young adults. He works as part of a dedicated neuroblastoma team that sees more patients with this disease than any other institution in the world, drawing on a vast breadth of experience from patients across the United States and internationally. This exceptional patient volume allows Dr. Kushner and his colleagues to continuously study treatment results, identify improvements in real time, and develop individualized care plans tailored to each patient's unique circumstances. Many patients who come to his team have previously received treatment elsewhere and arrive facing challenges such as relapse, poor response to therapy, or significant side effects.
