Fred W. Stewart (1894-1991) was an American surgical pathologist[1] who was chief of pathology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

Stewart was a friend of Cornelius P. Rhoads, who later became the director of Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Stewart, as "Ferdie," was the addressee of a controversial letter penned by Rhoads. Stewart also served as acting director of Memorial in 1944 while Rhoads was in the military.[2] In 1947, while Rhoads was director of Memorial, Stewart received a grant of $30,000 for cancer pathology and other teaching. This was part of the largest aggregation of Federal cancer grants ever given to a single institution at that time, a total of $142,550.[3]

In the 1940s, while at Memorial Hospital (which later merged with Sloan-Kettering), Stewart studied breast cancer with Frank W. Foote, Jr.[4]

Stewart-Treves syndrome, one of the classical sarcoma syndromes, was first described by Stewart and Norman Treves in 1948, in the first issue of the Cancer journal.[5] Stewart was the editor of Cancer until 1961, when he was replaced by John W. Berg.[6]
