I graduated from the Medical Academy in Warsaw in 1981. Since 1988 I have been working at the National Institute of Oncology in Warsaw and since 2000 I have been the head of the Gynecological Oncology Clinic. In 1985 I received my doctoral degree and in 1999 my post-doctoral degree. Since 2004 I have been a professor of medical science. My main interests are rare gynecological tumors and genetics in ovarian cancer. I am a member of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, the European Society of Gynecologic Oncology and from 2005 to 2008 I was vice-president of ESGO. I have participated in numerous clinical trials in ovarian and endometrial cancer for many years as a member of PGOG and ENGOT.
