Biography

“I am particularly honored, as an oncologist, to care for patients during what may be one of the most challenging times in their lives – dealing with a cancer diagnosis.” Dr. Carolyn Lefkowits was drawn to gynecologic oncology in order to help patients throughout the course of their illness, including surgical and non-surgical treatments, surveillance and follow-up care after treatment. She has an inherent love of the field and its collaborative nature, both among fellow clinicians and her patients. She also enjoys the intellectual challenge of caring for complex conditions her patients have and keeping up-to-date on the latest therapeutic options. She treats a broad range of patient needs, including precancers and cancers of the cervix, ovary, uterus, vagina and vulva. Dr. Lefkotwits received her MD degree from Harvard Medical School. She completed her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco. She completed her fellowship in gynecologic oncology at Magee-Womens Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and is also fellowship trained and board certified in palliative care. She has a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the Harvard School of Public Health and a Master of Science (MS) in medical education from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Lefkotwits is currently a member of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists and the American Association of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. She has two young daughters and spends much of her personal time just trying to keep up with them.
