Mustafa Basree, DO, MS

Mustafa Basree is a senior resident in radiation oncology at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

He has led and contributed to multiple retrospective and prospective studies, including investigator-initiated clinical trials in pancreatic cancer and MRI-guided liver SBRT.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring the outdoors with his wife Michelle, daughter Mia, and their rescue dog Eddy.
