Leonard H. Wexler
I am a pediatric oncologist with a special interest in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with bone and soft tissue sarcomas. These are rare tumors -- fewer than 2,000 cases are diagnosed in United States each year. I work with a team of oncologists, pediatric and orthopedic surgeons, and radiation therapists to offer unique expertise and treatment options to patients with both newly diagnosed and recurrent sarcomas. I am currently co-chair of an international study to evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy for the treatment of children with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. I am also co-investigator of a clinical trial at Memorial Sloan-Kettering that evaluates a novel combination of chemotherapy agents and radiotherapy techniques for the treatment of children with rhabdomyosarcoma.
