Dr. Richard Moore is the director of UR Medicine’s Gynecologic Oncology Division and leads the Wilmot Cancer Center’s Gynecology Service Line.

With their attitude and how they fight and how they embrace life, it’s inspiring.” Read the full article

Awareness ribbons; they’re everywhere. The first colored ribbon was used in 1991 to represent breast cancer awareness. Since then, other colored ribbons have been created to represent different types of cancer and are a simple way to show support for those affected by cancer. The color that represents all Gynecologic Cancers is purple.
Nutrition Support with Sweet Pea
Focusing on foods that help fight cancer and inflammation, we held our very first Nutrition Support Session and Cooking Demo on May 23rd. Sweet Pea’s Registered Dietitian, Jen Nguyen, taught us about anti-inflammatory foods, antioxidant rich foods and some simple ways to incorporate them into daily meals. We watched Jen make a couple quick meals that are as easy to prepare as they are healthy and delicious. Our next virtual Nutrition and Cooking Session on June 20th from 6-7 PM will focus on energy boosting foods that are also nutrient dense, and yummy too!
