About

Charles Ashley

Charles Ashley, MD is an oncologist at the University of Vermont Medical Center and assistant professor of gynecologic oncology at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont. 

Dr. Ashley treats a variety of conditions, including endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, vulvar cancer and vaginal cancer. He specializes in primary interval and secondary surgical debulking of advanced ovarian cancer, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (robotic and laparoscopic procedures), and fertility preserving surgery for gynecologic cancers. His research interests include gynecologic cancer genetics, “liquid biopsies” in gynecologic cancer, cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and clinical trials in gynecologic oncology. 

As a native-born Vermonter, Dr. Ashley is passionate about providing the highest quality of care for gynecologic cancer right here in the Green Mountain State.  The strength of patients in the face of medical adversity inspired him to become a physician, and continues to inspire his treatment of women with gynecologic cancer. Unlike any other surgical subspeciality, Gynecologic Oncology allows him the opportunity to develop long term relationships with his patients as he guides them through their treatment, from the time of their diagnosis through surgery, chemotherapy and long-term follow-up.  It is these relationships that motivate him to find ways to improve the quality of care provided to patients, both in the clinic or operating room and through research. 

Dr. Ashley strives to make sure his patients feel that their concerns are being listened to and addressed.  His philosophy is that the treatment of gynecologic cancer is not "one-size fits all,” and he sees it as his role to help people understand their diagnoses, listen to their desires and goals, and provide them with options so that, together, they can identify the best treatment plan.
