The Division of Gynecologic Oncology has a longstanding history of research, teaching, and care for people with gynecologic malignancies. The division is also part of the NCI-designated Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at UI Health Care.

The division has continued to grow year over year. The clinical work includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy treatments. Six faculty, 4 advanced practice providers, and 3 fellows provide high quality, compassionate care to patients with gynecologic malignancies. The division is a member of the NRG oncology group and actively participates in both NCI, industry and PI-driven clinical trials. All faculty are well-versed in minimally invasive surgical techniques (both robotic and laparoscopic platforms), sentinel lymph node mapping, chemotherapy administration (intravenous, intraperitoneal, targeted therapies, and novel experimental agents) as well as major open abdominal and cytoreductive surgery. The division has one outreach clinic in Davenport, Iowa, which is staffed on a weekly basis by faculty and daily by an APP. In addition to traveling to the Quad Cities, the division runs a monthly high-risk genetics clinic staffed by a faculty member with expertise in hereditary cancers.

Gynecologic cancer patients are admitted to 3JPP to the Women’s Post-Surgical Unit. Members operate in the Medical Center University Campus Main Operating Room (MOR) in addition to the Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). The division has seen recent, steady growth with the additional faculty and continued growth is expected.
