Dr. Spratt attended Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tennessee) for his medical training and completed his Radiation Oncology residency at Memorial Sloan Kettering (New York, New York). He joined the University of Michigan in 2015, where he developed a large NIH-funded translational and clinical research group.

While at the University of Michigan, Dr. Spratt also served as the Associate Chair for Clinical Research, the co-Chair for Genitourinary Clinical Trials for the Rogel Cancer Center, and the founding co-Director of the Spine Oncology Program. In addition, Dr. Spratt held leadership roles in the NIH Prostate SPORE and the U10 LAPS grant for cooperative group trials. Dr. Spratt received a number of awards in recognition for his teaching, mentorship, research and service during his time at University of Michigan. Furthermore, he was promoted to a tenured full professor faster than any other faculty member at the university, obtaining tenure in just five years following the completion of his training at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Dr. Spratt currently serves as chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, and he joined the faculty of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in 2021. He also holds the Vincent K. Smith Chair in Radiation Oncology. Dr. Spratt’s clinical expertise encompasses the management of genitourinary cancers (prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular), metastasis-directed radiotherapy, and spine stereotactic body radiotherapy. Patients travel from all over the world to seek his expert care for these conditions.

Dr. Spratt’s research expertise centers on the development and validation of prognostic and predictive biomarkers used to personalize treatment of cancer patients while avoiding over- and under-treatment. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts, including practice-changing work in the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Lancet Oncology, JAMA Oncology and the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Dr. Spratt has received federal funding from the NIH, Department of Defense, and numerous foundations for his research.

Industry Relationships

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
