The gynecologic medical oncology group at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is dedicated to researching and developing novel treatment strategies for rare ovarian cancers.
It is their mission to increase the number of women with low grade serous ovarian cancer who are cured through research, clinical trials and tailored care for their patients.
Dr. Rachel Grisham is the Section Head of Ovarian Cancer at MSKCC and her research specifically focuses on the development of new treatments for low grade serous ovarian cancer. She and her colleagues have previously helped to better define the molecular profile of low grade serous ovarian cancer and characterize prognostic molecular and radiographic markers for this disease. She has led several clinical trials examining novel hormonally and molecularly targeted therapies for treatment of this disease, including an ongoing phase II study of the antiandrogen, onapristone, for treatment of women with recurrent disease.
