In 2004, Lee S. Rosen, M.D. created Premiere Oncology to continue the research he began in 1996 as founder of the Developmental Therapeutics Program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).  Dr. Rosen specializes in the treatment of gastrointestinal and other solid tumors.  He is an avid researcher and has been Principal Investigator of pivotal clinical trials of products approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer, including Sutent^®, Camptosar^®, Eloxatin^™ and Zometa^®.  Premiere Oncology is located in Santa Monica, California where it is affiliated with the Saint John’s Health Center and the John Wayne Cancer Institute.  Over the past few years, Premiere has grown by recruiting collegues who understand the importance of providing wholistic care to patients while aggressively pursuing innovative treatments designed to fight cancer.  As a result, Premiere Oncology has become one of the only individualized cancer care treatment center models focused on research that is designed to provide targeted treatment options for its patients.
