New gynecologic oncology program at PeaceHealth cancer and OB-GYN services

PeaceHealth has increased its cancer and OB-GYN services to include gynecologic oncology.

The program, which started February 1, is in partnership with one of the top-ranked gynecologic oncology programs in the U.S., the University of Washington.

Dr. Molly Brewer will lead the program, specializing in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, gynecologic oncology, ovarian cancer, uterine sarcoma, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer and patients at risk for gynecologic cancer.

Brewer will see patients at PeaceHealth Squalicum Parkway Obstetrics, Gynecology and Midwifery Clinic in Bellingham and perform surgery at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham. Infusion therapy will be done at the PeaceHealth St. Joseph Cancer Center.

Brewer’s accomplishments include a medical degree from the State University of New York (SUNY) Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York and finishing her residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. She completed her fellowship at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, and holds a master of science degree in statistical analysis and clinical research design from University of Michigan School of Public Health.

Brewer also served as a professor and clinician in gynecologic oncology at the University of Arizona and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. She served as professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
