Research/Clinical Interests
Dr. Stefanie Ueda's primary interests at UCSF are ovarian cancer, robotic surgery, uterine serous cancer, biologically targeted therapies and international health. During the last two years she has pioneered a program in Uganda's Mulago Hospital and Makerere University aimed at improving cancer care and surgical training in an effort to treat the 80-100 patients seen on the oncology ward each week. She is helping to revolutionize treatment and outcomes with the introduction of twice-weekly ward rounds, a follow-up outpatient clinic and telemedicine consultation via e-mail and Skype. In spite of limited resources, she hopes to introduce chemotherapy and improve laparoscopic and surgical capabilities.
