About me

Dr. Madhav R. Seshadri is a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in caring for patients with blood cancers, with a particular focus on Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. He has expertise in advanced cancer treatments, such as stem cell transplants, targeted therapies (using substances that can identify cancer cells and kill them or hinder their ability to spread) and immunotherapies, including CAR T-cell therapy (in which the patient's own T-cells are altered in a lab to make them destroy cancer cells, then returned to the patient by infusion).

In his research, Seshadri focuses on developing new combinations of immunotherapy and targeted therapies to improve outcomes for patients with lymphoma. He is a principal investigator of multiple ongoing clinical trials (studies that use human volunteers to evaluate promising treatments) and has received several awards for his work.

Seshadri earned his medical degree at Emory University. He completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in hematology and oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine.

In addition to his work at UCSF, Seshadri currently serves on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's guidelines panel for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

    Excellent all around.

    I did not feel that Dr had read my chart before appt. I felt as if I was filling him in rather than the reverse.
    Jun 29, 2023
    Very disappointed that Dr Seshadri clearly had not studied my chart sufficiently and was unaware of key aspects of my condition which are clearly documented in my chart
    May 25, 2023

    Really liked doctor
    Dec 04, 2022
    There seems to be some confusion about when I'm supposed to see him next, my understanding during the visit was different than what it said in the notes. I sent a message in the portal and haven't heard back
    Nov 19, 2022
    Dr Seshadri was very uninspired and uninterested. He made me feel as if this was some exercise he was forced to do as part of the oncology clinic. If I would not be such a proponent of my own personal health I feel sore for the poor individual who has to be his patient. He has no bedside manner and I know he's knowledgeable but he is full of his self importance and is a very distant individual. I tried to be good spirited but even during the conversation he wAs totally uninterested in what I was saying as if what the patien has to put into their own health is of no impiety!
