A study authored by Matt Wagar, MD, former Gynecologic Oncology fellow, and Rachel Mojdehbakhsh, MD, current Gynecologic Oncology fellow, have recently been selected for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Roy M. Pitkin Award! Division of Gynecologic Oncology Director Lisa Barroilhet, MD, MS, and UW Department of Ob-Gyn Data Management and Statistics Core members Amy Godecker, PhD, MS, and Natalia Gontarczyk Uczkowski, MPH, are also celebrated for their contributions to this publication. Established in 1998, the Roy M. Pitkin Award recognizes excellence in obstetrics and gynecology research. Their study was published in Obstetrics and Gynecology in December 2025.

In “Ultrasonography-Based Measurements of Endometrial Thickness in Patients With p53 Abnormal Endometrial Carcinomas”, the authors evaluated prediagnostic endometrial thickness measured by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) in a cohort of patients with endometrial cancer stratified by p53 status to assess accuracy of endometrial thickness as a screening tool in this patient population.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Wagar, Dr. Mojdehbakhsh, and their co-authors on this esteemed honor!
