    Collapse Overview
    Dr. Rosanna Wustrack is the Chief of Orthopedic Oncology and an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the surgical diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors and fragility fractures. Her research focuses on immunotherapy for sarcomas, functional outcomes in cancer patients, osseointegration and optimizing treatment for metastatic disease. She also is interested in global health and osteoporosis in cancer survivors.

    Dr. Wustrack received an undergraduate degree from Yale University before earning a medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She completed an internship and residency in orthopedic surgery at UCSF. Subsequently, she completed fellowship training in musculoskeletal oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

    Identifying and enhancing the host immune response in adult soft tissue sarcoma
    Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Jul 1, 2019 - Jun 30, 2021
    Role: Principal Investigator
    Description: The aim of this pilot grant is to determine the host immune response to common soft tissue sarcomas and determine which immune response is associated with a favorable outcome as measured by time to metastases and overall survival. We are analyzing the various tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in fresh sarcoma tissue from resected specimens to determine the "immune profile" among soft tissue sarcomas. Additionally we will use this grant to develop an immune-competent sarcoma mouse model that we can then whether or not high intensity focused ultrasound treatment to the sarcoma can create a favorable immune response.
    An Osseo-Neural Transtibial Prosthesis with Efferent-Afferent Neural Control
    Department of Defense, United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command W81XWH-19-1-0151Apr 15, 2019 - Apr 14, 2022
    Role: Co-Investigator
    Description: To evaluate the safety and functional outcomes of a bone-anchored, percutaneous prostheses exhibiting full volitional control over a neuro-mechanical prosthetic system where key walking metrics are normalized, including preferred speed, metabolism and joint dynamics.
    Transfemoral Amputee Osseointegration Study
    Department of Defense, United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command W81XWH-17-2-0060, USAMRMC-BA160465Sep 30, 2017 - Oct 1, 2022
    Role: Co-Investigator
    Description: This is a prospective study evaluating the safety and efficacy as well as HRQL and functional outcomes as related to a bone-anchored percutaneous prosthesis system (OPRA) for transfemoral amputees. Patients will undergo a two-stage procedure to implant a titanium screw into the femur followed by bringing and abutment through the skin that the prosthesis can then attach. We will be measuring safety, complications, gait and general and disease specific HRQL outcomes.
