Our team of gynecologic oncologists offers a full spectrum of cancer-related care and is committed to helping women with cancer get through this difficult stage in their lives. Our physicians practice at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, UT Southwestern University Hospital, and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
Our team is led by David Scott Miller, M.D., professor and chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and medical director for the division’s practice at the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. He also holds the Dallas Foundation Chair in Gynecologic Oncology.
In addition, Dr. Miller serves as principal investigator for the National Cancer Institute’s Gynecologic Oncology Group program at UT Southwestern.
A graduate of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, Dr. Miller completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the Hospital of the Medical College of Pennsylvania. After residency, he obtained advanced training by completing a reproductive endocrinology fellowship at the University of California-San Diego and a gynecologic oncology fellowship at Stanford University Medical Center. Before joining the faculty at UT Southwestern, he practiced gynecologic oncology at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago.
Widely-known as an authority on cancers of the female reproductive system, Dr. Miller is board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and gynecologic oncology. He serves as an examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, where he participates in the oral examination of physicians seeking certification as specialists in gynecologic oncology.
In addition, Dr. Miller is director of UT Southwestern’s four-year, post-graduate fellowship in gynecologic oncology. This program trains doctors how to diagnose and care for women with cancer and also emphasizes research into detection and treatment options.
Dr. Miller believes the gynecologic oncology team’s strength comes from its collaborative approach to health care and commitment to search for the best treatment options for women with cancer of the reproductive system. This approach goes beyond treatment of the cancer itself to include the patient’s nutrition and pain management as well as psychological and social adjustments.
Siobhan Kehoe, M.D., joined the UT Southwestern faculty as an assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology after completing fellowship training in gynecologic oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
A graduate of Binghamton University with majors in biology and anthropology, she attended Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia Medical Center where she also served as chief administrative resident.
Dr. Kehoe’s clinical interests include the use of laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques in the treatment of cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers as well as prophylactic surgical procedures for treatment of high-risk patients. She also participates in the cancer treatment protocols of the National Cancer Institute’s Gynecologic Oncology Group.
Dr. Kehoe's research interests include studying biological cancer therapies, lymph node mapping and endometrial cancer treatment. She is also interested in the postoperative outcomes of cancer surgery and has co-authored several papers on the subject in Gynecologic Oncology.
Debra Richardson, M.D., is an assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UT Southwestern. After graduating from the University of Virginia with a major in biology, she received her medical degree from New York Medical College and completed residency training at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine.
Before pursuing fellowship training in gynecologic oncology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Dr. Richardson spent a year at the Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education completing a women’s health fellowship.
Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Richardson specializes in the use of minimally-invasive and robotic surgical techniques in the treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer as well as other gynecological malignancies. She also participates in cancer treatment protocols developed by the National Cancer Institute’s Gynecologic Oncology Group.
Dr. Richardson has published several papers on ovarian cancer, including the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer. She is completing a master’s degree in clinical research at the Mayo Graduate School to pursue development of clinical trials for gynecologic cancers.
