| Biography: |
Gerald Rosen, MD, is the Medical Director for the Sarcoma and Brain Tumor Programs for all of Aptium Oncology's Comprehensive Cancer Centers throughout the country but he is based in NYC at SVCCC. Dr. Rosen is a board certified physician and has been at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center since 1997. In addition to his duties with SVCCC, Dr. Rosen is the Senior Medical Advisor for Aptium Oncology Cancer Centers.
Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Rosen has authored over 200 articles in journals and textbooks on bone, soft tissue sarcomas and neuro-oncology (brain tumors). He is an international authority in these areas. He has authored many treatment protocols, which are being used throughout the world to treat bone and soft tissue sarcomas. As such, he is uniquely qualified to plan a curative approach to patients with these disorders, even those whose tumors have already progressed on other treatments. He has had success in prolonging the disease-free survival of even those patients whose survival would normally be much shorter.
Dr. Rosen is internationally known for starting the concept of pre-operative chemotherapy to increase the cure rate and save debilitating surgery in sarcoma patients, and is piloting similar studies in the treatment of brain tumors. He is also known for changing the way medical oncology is practiced by developing the first truly comprehensive outpatient cancer treatment center that functions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
During his extensive experience in treating malignant tumors, Dr. Rosen has served in key positions with world-renowned hospitals and medical schools. He is currently an attending oncologist at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center in NYC, and has previously served as the medical director of Cedars-Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center in Los Angeles. While at Cedars-Sinai, he also served as an attending physician at UCLA Center for Health Sciences. He was an attending physician on the solid tumor service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center where he developed and ran the sarcoma treatment programs, many of which are still used throughout the world today. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then from the Stanford University School of Medicine. He was an intern and resident at New York Hospital - Cornell Medical Center and completed his training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, and at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.
