Description
Dr. Burke sketches his study of endometrial cancer that involved a decade-long project of looking at techniques to reduce the radical surgery needed. His model has radically changed the management of the disease. Dr. Burke describes a uterine SPORE he worked on with Dr. George Stancel [oral history interview] and two junior faculty members, resulting in many new discoveries and new investigators attracted to the field.
He also explains an important outgrowth of this project: inclusion of patient advocates on the research team.
