Clinical Director, Senior Clinician
Dr. Roschewski is a Senior Clinician and the Clinical Director of the Lymphoid Malignancies Branch (LYMB) of the Center for Cancer Research. His research team focuses on the management of aggressive B-cell lymphomas including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL). Recent studies from NCI show that dose-adjusted EPOCH-R is highly effective for adults with BL and specific subtypes of DLBCL, such as primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma. The LYMB research team also recently demonstrated that targeted agents such as ibrutinib are highly effective when combined with chemotherapy in relapsed and refractory PCNSL.
Dr. Roschewski has pioneered an active translational program focused on studying clonal evolution in follicular lymphoma (FL) with an aim of identifying the molecular biology of FL patients who are failed by current therapy. The FL translational program has multiple studies for FL patients who do not yet require therapy as well as multiple treatment studies for patients in need of frontline or relapsed therapy. An important research focus of the LYMB research team involves developing non-invasive methods of monitoring disease in patients with lymphoma, including circulating tumor DNA. The LYMB research team also is dedicated to developing novel therapies for patients with rare lymphoma subtypes including EBV-associated lymphomas and lymphomas that secondarily involve the CNS.
Dr. Mark Roschewski received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1997 and his M.D. from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha in 2001. He completed internal medicine residency training while serving in the U.S. Army and completed his hematology-oncology fellowship in 2009 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) in Washington, DC.
