He was previously the assistant dean for oncology and the C.E. and Bernadine Laborde Professor of Cancer Research, Medicine and Urology Departments at the Tulane School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana. His research has mainly focused on translational science and clinical research trials of advanced prostate cancer since 1990 and he is recognized as an expert in that field through his contributions to the practice and the publishing of over 500 peer-reviewed articles and numerous book chapters and reviews.[1] Sartor also serves as the editor-in-chief of the bimonthly journal Clinical Genitourinary Cancer that mainly focuses on research in genitourinary oncology.[2]

[edit]Sartor attended Tulane University, where he received his MD in 1982 with honors. He then served as an intern at the University of Pennsylvania. After the internship, he served a residency in internal medicine at Tulane Medical School and then completed a medical oncology fellowship at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 1989.[3]
He joined the faculty at NCI, where he became a senior investigator mainly focusing on novel therapeutics for patients with advanced prostate cancer. He served as faculty at the NCI from 1990 till 1993, when he later returned to Louisiana and joined the faculty of LSU Medical School in Shreveport as an associate professor.[4][5] In 1998, Sartor became professor of oncology, director at the Stanley S, Scott Cancer Center, and a chief of Hematology/Oncology section at LSU Medical School in New Orleans. He was named the co-director of Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium in 2002.

He was later appointed the medical director at the Tulane Cancer Center in July 2010 and has served as assistant dean for oncology since 2016.[8] He has served as medical oncology co-chair of the Genitourinary Committee of NRG (formerly RTOG) since 2006 and has served on the NCI Board of Scientific Counselors (Clinical and Epidemiology) since 2014.[9]
Research
[edit]Throughout his academic career, Sartor has worked as a researcher, almost exclusively focused on prostate cancer. He has earned international recognition, particularly as an expert in advanced prostate cancer. He has published extensively on both prostate cancer translational studies and clinical trials that involve novel agents.[10]
Sartor was the PI or co-PI on four prostate cancer studies pivotal for FDA drug approval including Samarium-153 EDTMP,[11] Cabazitaxel,[12] Radium-223,[13] and Leuprolide Acetate 30 mg sustained release (Eligard).[14] In addition he has served as chair of the Data Monitor Committee for numerous phase III trials, including 6 trials pivotal for FDA approval.[15][failed verification]
