Research
Basic and Translational Research
Our translational research is performed in collaboration with Green Center faculty and other institutions.
In these laboratories, our gynecologic oncology fellows obtain training and mentorship in scientific research techniques.
Clinical Research
We are active in clinical research on:
- New therapeutics
- Early detection of cancer
- Family genetic studies
- Chemoprevention
- Epidemiology
- Population studies
As a member institution of the national NRG Oncology organization, we have patients enrolled in National Cancer Institute-sponsored clinical protocols for the treatment of ovarian, uterine, cervical, and gestational trophoblastic cancers. Our patients also have access to several pharmaceutical company-sponsored research trials for the treatment of gynecologic cancers.
From Lab to Bedside
We participate in several phase one clinical trials in preinvasive and invasive gynecologic cancers and solid tumors. These trials are investigator-initiated, institutional, or collaborations with pharmaceutical companies in the evaluation of drugs for the treatment of ovarian and cervical cancers.
By performing this interdisciplinary research, the Division of Gynecologic Oncology is able to transfer findings to and from the laboratory and bedside, resulting in leading-edge care.
