Donald L. Morton, MD persevered against great odds throughout his life and career. Beginning in the humblest of circumstances, he worked his way to the highest echelon of academic surgery, revolutionized surgical treatment of melanoma with innovations that rippled through the rest of oncology. His research led to dramatically improved disease staging while also decreasing morbidity. He stood as a champion of immunotherapy for many years when few others believed it would ever work. His greatest professional legacy, and the achievement of which he was most proud, is in the accomplishments of those he trained over his many years in the field.
