Dr. Nelson Moss treats brain tumors at MSK with minimally invasive surgery and nonsurgical options, focusing on recovery and quality of life.
I have always been fascinated with molecular biology and the workings of the brain. That curiosity, along with years of training, led me to focus on treating brain tumors.
Hi, I'm Dr. Nelson Moss, a neurosurgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I care for people with brain tumors – whether the cancer started in the brain or spread there from another part of the body – and these cases can be complex.
Because I’m both meticulous and deeply committed to my patients, I’m always researching new surgical options that reduce impact on the brain and speed up recovery.
Specialists across MSK work closely as a team to determine how surgery, radiation, infusions, or medications can be used together safely and effectively. You’ll have the benefit of a highly trained team of doctors, including me, all focused on finding the best path forward for you.
As a family man myself, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is getting you back home to the people and moments that matter most. Together, we’ll get you there.
