Dr. Moliterno is a board certified, fellowship trained neurosurgeon specialized in the surgical treatment of all types of primary brain tumors, including gliomas (GBMs, oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas), meningiomas and acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas), as well as other relatively less common tumor types (medulloblastoma, pineal tumors, intraventricular tumors, epidermoid tumors, etc). She performs the highest volume of brain tumor surgery in the state of Connecticut and routinely cares for patients seeking second or third opinions from afar. Dr. Moliterno has particular expertise in the treatment of complex brain tumors with the safe and effective use of more sophisticated microsurgical techniques, such as functional brain mapping and awake craniotomy for tumors located in highly functioning brain (i.e. speech and motor) areas, as well as those arising along the skull base. Given her skull base surgical specialization, she also routinely performs microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Dr. Moliterno is credentialed for performing gamma knife radiosurgery. Dr. Moliterno serves as the Clinical Director for the Chenevert Family Brain Tumor Center and Chief of Neurosurgical Oncology in the Department of Neurosurgery. She is also the Director of the Multidisciplinary Brain Tumor Board and Precision Brain Tumor Board and the Director for the Neurosurgical Oncology Fellowship Program. She serves as Chair of the Lovemark Foundation Fund at Smilow Cancer Hospital, aimed at providing support for patients with brain tumors. Dr. Moliterno鈥檚 research interests parallel that of her clinical practice with a bench-to-bedside focus on the clinical implications of the genomics of brain tumors. She completed her internship and residency training in neurosurgery at Yale New Haven Hospital and clinical fellowship in neurosurgical oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

To Kathleen C. Suozzi, MD, the prevention and reversal of sun damage has become a passion. 鈥淚n my dermatology care and research, I see how sun exposure leads to the development of skin cancers and causes the skin to age prematurely,鈥 she says. Dr. Suozzi specializes in the treatment of skin cancer with a technique called Mohs surgery. The technique is used to remove cancer cells layer by layer, while preserving normal tissue. She received advanced training in dermatologic surgery at Yale School of Medicine. She is widely published in scientific journals and has presented her research about how skin cancer develops at national conferences including the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, the Society of Investigative Dermatology and the American College of Mohs Surgery. She鈥檚 committed to alerting people about the dangers of sun exposure. 鈥淧eople accumulate sun damage over a lifetime, starting in childhood. I frequently hear from patients that they were not aware of the risks of sun exposure during their youth,鈥 she says. "But it is never too late to start protecting your skin from UV damage." In addition to treating skin cancers, Dr. Suozzi uses advanced technologies such as photodynamic therapy, laser treatments and medications to help treat UV-induced damage to the skin. "These technologies can help reverse visible signs of aging and address precancerous changes in the skin,鈥 she says.

As Professor of Medicine and Urology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel P. Petrylak is a pioneer in the research and development of new drugs and treatments to fight prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancer. For patients fighting these types of cancers, Petrylak finds recent developments in the field of immunotherapy particularly promising. “Up until recently, bladder cancer had not seen any major advancement in more than 30 years,” he says. “Studies are ongoing, but interim results are exciting so far.” At the Smilow Cancer Hospital, Dr. Petrylak’s position as a national leader on clinical trials for men with prostate and bladder cancer has opened up a world of treatment options for patients in New England. “We offer the latest investigational drugs for these conditions, while providing the highest level of care,” he says. Dr. Petrylak received his MD from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and joined the Yale faculty in 2012. In addition to his role as professor, he is also a member of the Cancer Signaling Networks Research Program at Yale Cancer Center, which studies how cancer stem cells are regulated in the body and communicate with surrounding tissue. Roughly 40 physicians and scientists in the program work together to develop the best methods for matching patients with the appropriate cancer drugs. One of Dr. Petrylak’s key goals is to continue to successfully translate basic research into clinical practice. “One of the most significant accomplishments in my career was moving docetaxel (an antineoplastic agent) therapy for the most advanced form of prostate cancer from phase I to III,” he says. “We ran a trial which supported its approval for the most advanced form of prostate cancer.” Dr. Petrylak currently serves as either the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on seven Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) clinical trials for genitourinary cancers. To date, he has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed articles on prostate and bladder cancer research.

Dr. Preston C. Sprenkle specializes in the treatment of urologic cancers, including prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer and sarcoma 鈥 a rare kind of cancer that grows in cells that connect or support other parts of the body, like bone or muscle. Dr. Sprenkle has dedicated his career to using the latest imaging technologies to improve diagnosis. He was one of the first physicians nationwide to implement the use of the Artemis Device. This machine, introduced in 2009, allows a surgeon to use 3D ultrasound technology and merge it with even more precise magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to accurately identify cancerous tumors. 鈥淪killed and experienced radiologists are rare for this relatively new technique,鈥 Dr. Sprenkle explains. 鈥淎t Yale, we are fortunate to have some of the world leaders in prostate MRI.鈥 Dr. Sprenkle is also a pioneer in 鈥渇ocal therapy,鈥 which allows a surgeon to treat tiny prostate lesions, rather than the whole organ. This avoids many of the side effects鈥攕uch as erectile dysfunction and incontinence鈥攖hat may follow the removal of the whole prostate. 鈥淓xciting technological advances are revolutionizing urology. Prostate cancer is very common and current treatments can majorly impact a man's sexual and urinary function,鈥 Dr. Sprenkle says. 鈥淒eveloping ways to minimize the impact of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment on a man's health and quality of life is tremendously rewarding.鈥 Dr. Sprenkle believes in working with patients to come up with individualized treatment plans. 鈥淚 want my patients to feel that I hear their concerns and treat them like a person.
