I am one of the GYN oncologists at the Medical University
of South Carolina.
In that, we take care of women with GYN cancers,
so ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer,
vulvar cancer.
One of the things that's really important to me
is to practice evidence-based medicine to provide the best
care to my patients.
What that means is that my goal is
to stay up to date on the most current literature that's
available and to provide the most up to date treatments that
are possible for our patients with these types of cancers.
And I think that's really important to really tailor
treatment so that we can take the best care of women who come
and see us at MUSC.
So I'm interested in all areas of GYN cancer,
including ovarian cancer, cervical cancer,
and uterine cancer.
One of the other things I'm really interested in
is the role of minimally invasive surgery
in GYN cancers.
While it's not the right choice for every patient,
for certain patients, it really provides an opportunity
to decrease the recovery, improve surgical outcomes,
and decrease some of those adverse effects you
can see with some of the radical surgery.
And so when there is a role and when
it's an appropriate thing for my patients,
it's something that I like to offer,
which can be done either with a straight-stick laparoscopy
or with robotic surgery.
I think MUSC provides something really unique for patients,
for women in particular, who are being treated for cancer care.
At MUSC, we have three GYN oncologists
right now who take care of women through all phases
of their cancer treatment, so when they're initially
diagnosed or if they're not sure if they have cancer
at that point, during their surgery,
and through their chemotherapy afterwards.
There are only two female GYN oncologists
currently in the state, and both of us do practice here at MUSC.
We also have a really great multidisciplinary team
that allows women to have access to all of their care needs
during their cancer treatment.
So we have a wonderful radiation oncologist
who we work very closely with, and he will actually
see you in clinic with us to make your patient visits
a little bit easier.
We also have expert pathologists,
and we have research on site, with our hope
of providing up-to-date clinical trials and really
the best tailored care for you.
And that teamwork, I think, is something
that's really special at MUSC, and we
try to really focus that all around our patients' care.
