About Adeel Kaiser

Adeel Kaiser, M.D., is a board-certified radiation oncologist at Miami Cancer Institute. He has expertise in the treatment of a number of solid tumor malignancies, with a special focus on genitourinary and gastrointestinal cancers. He also has significant experience in proton therapy dating back to 2008, when he served as an assistant professor at Loma Linda University Medical Center, the first clinical proton therapy center in the United States. He is fluent in English, Urdu and Hindi.
 
Dr. Kaiser joined Miami Cancer Institute from the University of Maryland Department of Radiation Oncology, where he served as the director of the Advanced Modalities Fellowship Program. This program trained national and international students in emerging radiation oncology modalities, including pencil beam proton therapy, GammaPod radiosurgery and deep tissue hyperthermia. Dr. Kaiser also served as the director of the Integrative Wellness Program at the Maryland Proton Treatment Center, which sought to incorporate diet, exercise and emotional support strategies with radiation therapy.
 
Dr. Kaiser is widely published in peer-reviewed medical journals. He has also led multiple clinical trials and was the first radiation oncologist to lead a ketogenic diet trial for patients under active surveillance for prostate cancer. He has received numerous awards for his work, including grant awards from industry as well as NIH-sponsored institutions toward both laboratory and clinical research in metabolic therapy. He holds an adjunct position at the University of Maryland while serving as principal investigator for a grant-supported pre-clinical study of a novel glycolytic inhibitor.
 
At Miami Cancer Institute, Dr. Kaiser aims to provide patients with a personalized, integrative strategy for their cancer treatment by incorporating complementary therapies with radiation treatment. When he is not treating patients, Dr. Kaiser enjoys spending time with his family and outdoor activities.
