Patrick Grogan, MD, PhD

Cancer Focus:
Brain Cancer, Glioblastoma, Meningioma

Dr. Grogan received his PhD in Pharmacology and MD from the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He then completed an Internal Medicine Residency followed by a Physician-Scientist Training Program/Medical Oncology Fellowship (Neuro-Oncology Track) at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics. Dr. Grogan joins Moffitt from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where he was a Faculty Clinical Instructor in Neuro-Oncology and Medical Oncology, Department of Medicine, and a Research Associate and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Oncology, McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research.Dr. Grogan specializes in the management of central nervous system malignancies, with a focus on treating patients with primary CNS cancers including both low- and high-grade gliomas.  His clinical interests include precision and individualized treatment strategies for patients with high-grade gliomas while also focusing heavily on quality-of-life considerations.
