Major Research Theme
| The program in Gynecologic Medical Oncology is largely involved with clinical and translational research activities. Our clinical research efforts involve developing new treatments for patients with high risk ovarian cancer, including novel first line chemotherapy regimens as well as innovative approaches to treatment of relapsed disease. Many of our clinical trials are investigator-initiated and include upfront combination chemotherapy regimens, consolidative oral chemotherapy, as well as use of novel phase I agents such as oral angiogenesis inhibitors for patients with early relapse. Our translational research efforts are centered around use of our ovarian cancer tissue bank and correlative clinical database. We are currently using this resource to define gene expression profiles predictive of chemotherapy resistance and prognostic of poor survival. These activities have resulted in a recent DF/HCC Ovarian SPORE award, of which my program is a major contributor. |
