Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA
Prof. Oliver Sartor is director of radiopharmaceutical trials and professor of medicine, urology and oncology in the Department of Medical Oncology at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. read more
His medical practice and research have focused on prostate cancer since 1990 when he finished a medical oncology fellowship at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). After serving as the associate dean for oncology and medical director of the Tulane Cancer Center, he moved to the Mayo Clinic in April 2023, where he now works in a multidisciplinary environment intersecting with urology, nuclear medicine and medical oncology. He serves as the vice-chair of the genitourinary cancer committee of NRG Oncology, a national cancer research group focused on radiotherapies. Past endeavours have included terms as a member of the NCI Board of Scientific Counselors (Clinical Sciences and Epidemiology) and as a faculty member at the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard. He has also served as past editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Genitourinary Cancers.
He has published over 500 manuscripts and led or co-led multiple national and international clinical studies, including multiple phase III studies in prostate cancer (samarium-153 ethylene diamine tetra methylene phosphonate [EDTMP], cabazitaxel, radium-223 and lutetium-177-prostate specific membrane antigen [PSMA]-617). In addition to therapeutic studies, he has long been involved with translational and scientific studies in patients with prostate cancer. The issues related to prostate cancer have many complex genetic and non-genetic changes and, in these projects, he has been a catalyst for helping to understand how prostate cancer develops and progresses. He has lectured widely, and at the last count had given invited lectures in 33 countries.
