CU gynecologic oncologist offers insights on groundbreaking research
Dr. Jaime Arruda
, gynecologist and advanced pelvic surgeon at the University of Colorado, was featured in a recently published HowStuffWorks.com article regarding the potential possibilities and pitfalls of uterine transplants.
The piece is based on Cleveland Clinic’s recent announcement to conduct a trial program that will test the viability of uterus transplants, the first experiment of it’s kind in the U.S. The article quotes several doctors, including Dr. Arruda, who weigh in on the importance of the research but caution about the potential downsides.
The article references Dr. Arruda’s viewpoints as illustrated in her blog on the topic, suggesting that the procedure is still in the experimental phase. Dr. Arruda notes that, “even if uterine transplants did become a valid treatment option that it would only be an option for a small number of women.”
