About Dr. Sun
Dr. Sun joined the faculty as a Research Instructor in 2001. Dr. Sun’s research interests include developing methods to improve and better understand the process of the patient-physician making for women who have been diagnosed with or at risk for developing gynecologic malignancies, as well as evaluating prognostic factors for survival in women with borderline and low grade serous tumors of the ovary. Dr. Sun’s research efforts have included the assessment of treatment preferences and quality of life issues for women with ovarian and cervix cancer, as well as preferences for prophylactic surgery for women with inherited cancer syndromes.
Dr. Sun is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, the Society of Medical Decision Making, and the American Public Health Association.
