About
A lot has changed since Dr. Cesar Freytes started performing bone marrow transplants more than 30 years ago. Today, patients receive transplants earlier, medications and supportive care have improved dramatically, and sources for stem cells have increased to include unrelated donors unheard of when Dr. Freytes first started in the field. But his driving force and passion to connect with patients with cancer in need of a transplant has not changed at all.
Dr. Freytes studied medicine at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine in San Juan. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the San Juan Veteran's Administration Medical Center. He served his fellowship in hematology/oncology at Washington University in St. Louis under bone marrow transplantation pioneer Dr. Geoffrey Herzig. After two years at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, he returned to the VA in San Juan until he was recruited to join the ALMMVH and UTHSCSA in San Antonio in 1991 where he served on the faculty and as Director of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Program at the South Texas Veteran's Health Care System until his retirement in 2015.
Not only has Dr. Freytes distinguished himself as a teacher, clinician, and administrator, but he is also recognized for his thoughtful and innovative leadership and contribution to the evolving field of bone marrow transplantation through original investigations, participation on editorial boards, and advisory and reviewer roles for scientific organizations and medical publications.
His particular areas of research interest include lymphomas, multiple myeloma and transplantation in these patients.
