Summary

I am a Board Certified Gynecologic Oncologist specializing in the treatment of women with cancer or suspected cancer of the female reproductive system.

I am a surgeon and chemotherapy specialist (including HIPEC and immunotherapy) for women with cancer of the ovaries, tubes, uterus, cervix, vulva and vagina.

I assist women with genetic predisposition to gynecologic cancers on means of reducing this risk.

NIH funded clinical research through the NCTN has been a focus of my career for 30+ years. I currently serve as the contact Principal Investigator for NRG Oncology at Case Western Reserve University and its affiliates.

Additional professional interests of mine include cancer survivorship for women and caregivers, patient safety, and management of treatment related side effects.

Educating and mentoring students, residents, fellows and nurses in the specialty of Gynecologic Oncology is a vital part of my career.
