Dr. Svetlana Mironov, MD

I am a Board-certified radiologist with subspecialty training in Oncologic Imaging. Although my specialty is cross-sectional imaging for the diagnosis of all types of cancer, my area of special expertise is gynecologic cancers. I use ultrasound and CT scans to detect and characterize pelvic masses that are clinically suggestive of cancer. In collaboration with gynecologic oncologists, I also detect early recurrent cancers using a combination of tumor markers with modern imaging modalities. I am participating in collaborative research projects conducted by gynecologic oncologists and urologists, including numerous research protocols investigating the effectiveness of different anticancer medications. We are evaluating treatment response to the drugs using modern multislice computer tomography, which allows precise measurements of the tumors before and after treatment. For almost 15 years, I have actively participated in the gynecologic treatment and planning conference, regularly …conducted by gynecologic surgeons, gynecologic oncologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists. I provide radiologic support to this conference and participate in treatment planning, tailored for each specific patient. My personal research interest is ovarian cancer, impact of imaging on treatment and prognosis, which resulted in multiple publications. I participate in training of Oncologic Imaging fellows and Cornell Radiology residents and hold an appointment of Associate Professor of Clinical Radiology at Weill Cornell Medical College.
