Born in Budapest, Hungary, Dr. Andrew G. Huvos obtained his medical degree from the University of Goettingen Medical School in Germany. He continued his training in the United States in New York City as an Intern in Pathology at Cornell University Medical College, Resident at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and a Fellow in Oncologic Pathology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. At these institutions, his teachers were the giants of the period among whom Drs. Arthur Purdy Stout, Raffaele Lattes, Frank W. Foote, Jr., and Henry L. Jaffe were the most influential.

After a two-year Fellowship, the second as a Chief Fellow, Dr. Huvos joined the staff of the Department of Pathology Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in 1969 and rose to the level of Attending Pathologist in 1977. He is also a Member of the cancer center. Dr. Huvos became Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weil Medical College of Cornell University in 1981.

Beyond these dry facts, Dr. Huvos is recognized as one of the world's leading tumor pathologists in the disciplines of bone and of head and neck pathology.

He has authored and co-authored more than 360 scientific publications in peer-reviewed professional journals, in addition to many book chapters. His book entitled "Bone Tumors: Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis" published in two editions, was also translated into Spanish.

He is the recipient of a number of awards including the Wm. M. Christopherson Society 27^th Annual Lectureship, the Working Group on Head and Neck Pathology of the European Society of Pathology and the North American Society of Head and Neck Pathology Honorary Diploma for achievements in the fields of head and neck pathology, and the Dr. Henry L. Jaffe Award. He has been designated for several consecutive years as one of "The Best Doctors in America", a guide published by Castle Connolly.

Sought after as a speaker, he has delivered several hundred lectures worldwide at various institutions and conferences in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Japan, Belgium, Hungary, Slovenia, Yugoslavia, and Austria. His love of teaching and interacting with younger colleagues is manifested by conducting numerous highly rated and well-received workshops and short courses in pathology at USCAP and ASCP meetings over the last three decades.

His professional opinions are sought, and his diagnostic skills tested, by hundreds of personal consultations received annually from previous Fellows trained by him and colleagues all over the world requesting guidance and an authoritative opinion.

Dr. Huvos developed a highly regarded multi-disciplinary Orthopedic Tumor Board at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for physicians who are interested in diagnosing and treating bone tumors. These weekly conferences are extremely well attended by staff, Residents, Fellows from the medical center and other metropolitan hospitals, as well as visiting physicians and surgeons.
