Andy & Phyllis Huvos |
|
Dr. Huvos took his medical student training at The Universities of Budapest (Hungary) and Gottingen (Germany) before migrating to the United States. Following a general Internship at The New York Hospital, he trained in Anatomic Pathology at The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and, in 1967, pursued a Fellowship in Oncologic Pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. An obvious talent, Andy was offered a position as Chief Fellow the following year and then joined the staff in 1969. Over the next 37 years, he
would rise to Attending Pathologist and Member here, as well as
Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in The Weill Medical
College of Cornell University. In the course of these years, Dr. Huvos
established himself as one of the world's foremost authorities on the
surgical pathology of bone tumors, neoplasms of the salivary glands and
other head and neck sites. Few morphologists contributed as much to the
charting of these lesions' clinical biology and to the difficult issues
of their classification and prognostic assessment. He leaves us with a
legacy of nearly 400 original
contributions to the literature as well as a single-author textbook,
Bone Tumors: Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis that is justly regarded
as a classic monograph in oncology. Andy collected many
honors, including the prestigious Henry L. Jaffe Award in Orthopedic
Pathology and the President's Medal of the United States and Canadian
Academy of Pathology. Add to the thousands of Memorial patients who had
the benefit of his powers the hundreds of pathologists-in-training
bearing his impress and you have the picture of a man who influenced
cancer medicine across generations. |

The fellow will participate in the sign-out of surgical and biopsy material and consultation cases. The fellow will also present pathology findings at the weekly head and neck tumor conference. Major ongoing basic research programs focus on the biology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of head and neck cancer. Requirements: Completion of an accredited residency training program in either anatomic pathology or oral & maxillofacial pathology. Foreign medical/dental graduates must have a good command of the English language. In addition an interview at the applicant's expense is also required. Deadline for receipt of applications is January 1 of 2007, with the fellowship beginning on July 1, 2007. Stipend: A stipend commensurate with the training level of the applicant is provided. Applicants: Candidates who are board eligible in either anatomic pathology or oral & maxillofacial pathology and have a genuine interest in obtaining rigorous training in basic and translational research as well as advanced training in diagnostic head and neck pathology should submit inquiries, CV’s, and three letters of recommendation to: Mark W.
