The research of Sean C. Dowdy, M.D., focuses on improving the quality of surgery delivered to women with gynecologic cancers by reducing complications, accelerating recovery and improving patient satisfaction. Dr. Dowdy studies the genetic changes in ovarian cancer that predict improved response to treatment and identifies new treatment options for both ovarian and endometrial cancer.
Dr. Dowdy has worked to disseminate his surgical quality improvements beyond Rochester to the Mayo Clinic Health System and to national and international audiences. In this way, improvements in postoperative recovery and healing will be available to patients everywhere. Often, there are prolonged delays between discovering an improved treatment or practice and applying the discovery in the clinical setting. Dr. Dowdy's research in quality improvement aims to bring these innovations to patients as soon as possible.
In some cases, treatments prescribed for cancer are ineffective. Thus, patients incur costs and experience unnecessary side effects, with little to no benefit. Using molecular predictors of response, Dr. Dowdy hopes to improve outcomes while reducing toxicity.
