Sobecki earns grant for osteoporosis screening project
Congratulations to Janelle Sobecki, MD, of the UW Ob-Gyn Division of Gynecologic Oncology! Sobecki received a grant from the University of Wisconsin–Madison American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant review committee for the project “Bone Health and Osteoporosis Screening in Gynecologic Cancer Survivors”.
The $50,000 grant runs from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023. Sobecki has been investigating bone health in gynecologic cancer survivors for a while – she presented “Bone Loss and Osteoporosis Risk in Younger Gynecologic Cancer Patients” at the 2021 UW Ob-Gyn Department Research Day, and published “Opportunistic osteoporosis screening using routine computed tomography images to identify bone loss in gynecologic cancer survivors” in the International Journal of Gynecologic Oncology earlier this year.
Incredible work, Dr. Sobecki!
