Résumé

Being a gynecologic oncologist is a privilege. Women with cancer address their challenges with grit and resilience. Their most basic questions motivated my career-long search for scientific answers hidden in genetics, novel therapeutics, and cancer prevention. But medicine is a team sport. Working alongside gifted colleagues and mentoring trainees to assume starring roles on the team has sustained and enriched my career. Advocating for patients and the specialty of gynecologic oncology provided another means to advance research and cancer awareness to improve patient outcomes. The author believe the most exciting times are yet to come.
