Andrew Berchuck, MD, Gynecologic Oncology Endowed Lecture
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease — Duke Southeastern Regional Trophoblastic Disease Center Perspectives and Current Management
The Andrew Berchuck, MD, Gynecologic Oncology Endowed Lecture, funded through philanthropic gifts from grateful patient families, department alumni and many others to honor the contributions of Andrew Berchuck, MD, brings national experts to Duke to speak on topics related to gynecologic oncology. It also supports the return of former department residents and fellows to present lectures and share their experiences and perspectives in order to foster ongoing community and connection. This is a fitting legacy for Dr. Berchuck, who has contributed so much to Duke, the department, our patients and the field of gynecologic oncology.
Dr. Berchuck, the James M. Ingram Distinguished Professor of Gynecologic Oncology, chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology and director of the DCI Gynecologic Cancer Disease Group, has, over his extraordinary 35-year career at Duke, been an innovator, leader and mentor. His wisdom and care for our patients and mentorship of trainees have advanced care for women with gynecologic cancers and helped shape the strong legacy of the Duke Gynecologic Oncology Program and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Since day one, he’s led a research program focused on the molecular-genetic alterations involved in the malignant transformation of the ovarian and endometrial epithelium and has published more than 300 peer-reviewed papers in this subject area. He remains one of our busiest clinicians, providing surgical and medication management of individuals with ovarian, endometrial and lower genital tract cancers.
Featured speaker John Soper, MD, is a professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a former fellow and faculty member of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Duke Ob/Gyn.
Special guests will share memories of Duke and reflections on training at Duke Ob/Gyn: Grace Couchman, MD, co-founder of Carolina Conceptions and former resident, fellow and faculty member of Duke Ob/Gyn; and Matthew Kohler, MD, Director of the Division of Gynecology Oncology at MUSC and former resident and fellow of Duke Ob/Gyn.
CMEs will be available to Duke users with a CME account and non-Duke users with a Duke OneLink account.
The lecture takes place in-person in the Duke South Amphitheater, and a virtual option is available by Zoom.
