Overview of Dr. Yamada
I am a board certified gynecologic oncologist and I lead the Section of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Chicago. I have a keen interest in developing systems to giving the community access to the best gyn oncology care possible. I collaborate with translational and clinical researchers to bring novel therapies to ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer patients. I also have a strong interest in education and administrative leadership. I was a member of the gynecologic oncology board of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology between 2014-2020 and served as President for the Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2021-2022.
