Dr. Bela Kis is a Senior Member in the Diagnostic Imaging & Interventional Radiology Program at Moffitt Cancer Center, a Professor of Oncologic Sciences at the University of South Florida and a Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology (FSIR). He is the Section Head of Interventional Radiology and Vice Chair of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Radiology. Dr. Kis earned his MD and PhD from the University of Szeged in Hungary. He completed a Radiology Residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, where he also served as Chief Resident. He then completed an Interventional Radiology Fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kis' clinical interests include image-guided tumor therapy including transcatheter chemo- and radio-embolizations, minimally invasive percutaneous tumor ablation (NanoKnife, cryo- and radiofrequency ablation), image-guided biopsies, image-guided urinary and biliary interventions, arterial …and venous stenting, uterine fibroid embolization, pelvic congestion syndrome, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Dr. Kis recently introduced thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA) at Moffitt Cancer Center, which is one of the very few programs in the US. His research encompasses new techniques in minimally invasive, image-guided tumor therapy with focus on chemoperfusion treatment of mesothelioma, irreversible electroporation (Nanoknife) treatment of unresectable pancreatic cancer, radioembolization treatment for primary and metastatic liver tumors and partial splenic embolization to increase platelet count in patients with thrombocytopenia.
