Palumbo Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology |  |
Clinical Interests
Surgery in gynecologic malignancies, DES-exposed females, ovarian cancer, vulvar neoplasia, common gynecologic problems.
Research Interests
The Gynecologic Oncology Division is devoted to the basic study of female reproductive track cancers. In addition, the Division is an active participant in the Gynecologic Oncology Group which is a national organization of physicians conducting clinical trials and research that are exclusively gynecologic in origin. I am very much interested in women's health issues, especially how to get appropriate care.
