About the Program
The Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Rochester currently includes five Gynecologic Oncologists, one Medical Oncologist, and eight Advanced Practice Providers (who assist in both the inpatient and outpatient settings). Unique to the division is our affiliation with the Rochester Center for Sexual Wellness, led by Dr. Pebble Kranz, who assists our patients with the psychosocial aspects of sexual health and sexual health and wellness following treatment for a malignancy.
In addition to Phase 2/Phase 3 clinical trials and industry-supported trials, the division is supported by a Phase 1 clinical trials program led by Dr. Rachael Turner. The Phase 1 program is unique to this area, as most of the Phase 1 clinical trials are centered in large metropolitan areas. The clinical trials and research team includes four Research Coordinators, two Data Managers, and the department is supported additionally by its own Research Nurse.
The Gynecologic Oncology fellowship is a three-year program that involves one year of research and two clinical years (both inpatient and outpatient rotations). During this time, the fellow will seek training and instruction not only from the members of our division but also from members of the departments of Surgical Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Cancer Genetics, Radiology, Palliative Care, Internal Medicine, Colorectal, Urology, and Interventional Radiology.
