Our team of gynecologic oncologists offers the full spectrum of cancer-related care and is committed to helping women with gynecological cancer get through this difficult stage in their lives. Our physicians practice at the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Harold C. Simmons Cancer Center, UT Southwestern University Hospital - St. Paul, and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

Our team is led by David Scott Miller, MD, 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 NCI-designated Simmons Cancer Center.

Dr. Miller also serves as principal investigator for the National Cancer Institute’s Gynecologic Oncology Group program at UT Southwestern and participates in the cancer treatment protocols developed by that organization.

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 pursued 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 in 1991, he practiced gynecologic oncology at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago.

Dr. Miller holds the Dallas Foundation Chair in Gynecologic Oncology. He is a member of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, American Society of Clinical Oncology, American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American College of Surgeons.

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 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, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She joined the UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty in 2009 after completing fellowship training in gynecologic oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

A graduate of SUNY Binghamton 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.

Dr. Kehoe holds the Rosann and Richard Gutman Fund for Clinical Excellence and Career Enhancement.

Jayanthi Lea, MD, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is board certified both in gynecologic oncology and obstetrics and gynecology.

She received her medical degree from East Carolina University School of Medicine and completed her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.

Following a four-year gynecologic oncology fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center, she joined the faculty here. After a hiatus as Assistant Director for the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Carolinas Medical Center in North Carolina, she returned to UT Southwestern in 2010.

Dr. Lea was a scholar of the NIH Reproductive Scientist Development Program, where she nvestigated the molecular pathogenesis of cervical cancer. Her translational research interest is in the development of clinical trials for ovarian cancer using novel therapeutic agents. She has published several papers on cervical and ovarian cancer.

Skilled in minimally invasive robotic surgery and advanced laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Lea specializes in the treatment of ovarian, endometrial, cervical and other gynecologic malignancies as well as the treatment of pre-invasive cervical, vaginal, and vulvar disease. She participates in the clinical protocols of the National Cancer Institute’s Gynecologic Oncology Group and serves on the committee to evaluate cervical cancer treatment protocols.

Debra Richardson, MD, 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. She was also awarded a certificate in Clinical and Translational Science from the Mayo Clinic.

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 and serves on the developmental therapeutics committee for that organization.

Dr. Richardson has published several papers on ovarian cancer, including the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.
