Rizwan D. Nurani, M.D.
Rizwan Nurani was born in Kenya, East Africa. He moved to Seattle to study at the University of Washington, where he earned a Bachelors of Science in Cell & Molecular Biology as well as a Doctorate in Medicine, with Thesis Honors. He chose to continue his specialty training at the University of Washington and completed his residency in Radiation Oncology in 2007. In his final year of training, he served as Chief Resident as well as Coordinator for the American Brachytherapy Society/Seattle Prostate Institute Fellowship Program.

Dr. Nurani’s practice is based on the philosophy that he can best serve his patients by helping them obtain a balanced and detailed understanding of the treatment options for their cancer. This knowledge, when combined with each patient’s unique perspective, enables the patient and doctor to work together to tailor an individualized treatment program.

His clinical and research interests have centered on improving treatment for patients with prostate cancer, brachytherapy applications, and integrating new imaging tools into treatment planning. He has presented his research at national and international conferences sponsored by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), American Head and Neck Cancer Society (AHNS), European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO), the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) and Groupe Europeen de Curietherapie (GEC).

In their free time, Dr. Nurani, his wife and young daughter can usually be found outdoors, kayaking, biking, hiking or playing with bugs. They enjoy discovering new places and have an interest in international health.
