Professor of Radiology Ziv Haskal, MD, was named to Newsweek’s “Top Cancer Doctors 2015” listing for his expertise in Uterine Fibroid Embolization, Vascular Malformations, and Liver Cancer/Chemoembolization. Sixteen other University of Virginia Cancer Center physicians were named to Newsweek’s “Top Cancer Doctors 2015” listing.
Dr. Haskal’s published and continuing research interests are widespread, spanning dialysis, portal hypertension, peripheral arterial and venous disease, deep vein thrombosis and interventional oncology. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Interventional and Vascular Radiology.
Newsweek developed the list in partnership with Castle Connolly Medical LTD, which publishes America’s Top Doctors®. According to Newsweek’s website, a Castle Connolly team led by physicians reviewed nearly 100,000 nominations, then talked with hospital leaders and cancer specialists to develop the list of top cancer doctors.
“This national honor for our physicians not only recognizes the excellent care they provide their patients, but the comprehensive, specialized care provided to patients at UVA Cancer Center,” said Thomas P. Loughran Jr., MD, UVA Cancer Center’s director.
