Dr. Suzanne L. Wolden, MD, is a distinguished pediatric radiation oncologist who has served as Director of Pediatric Radiation Oncology on the MSK Kids team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center since 1998. In this role, she cares for children and young adults with cancer as a member of the pediatric, ophthalmic, and bone marrow transplant disease management teams, working in close collaboration with specialists across these disciplines. Her clinical expertise spans a wide range of rare pediatric malignancies, including sarcomas, brain tumors, neuroblastoma, Wilms' tumor, lymphoma, and leukemia. Recognizing that young patients are especially vulnerable to long-term treatment side effects, she approaches each case individually, designing highly customized radiation therapy plans aimed at maximizing therapeutic benefit while minimizing harm.
