Gynecologic Oncology

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system. These include cancers of the cervix, uterus (endometrium), ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. Gynecologic oncologists are highly trained in both oncology and gynecology, offering a unique blend of surgical expertise and comprehensive cancer care.

Early diagnosis and timely intervention are critical in improving outcomes for gynecologic cancers. Gynecologic oncology treatment often requires a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted or hormonal therapies, depending on the type and stage of cancer.

Common Gynecologic Cancers Treated:

Cervical Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer
Vaginal Cancer
Vulvar Cancer
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Key Services and Treatments Include:

Diagnostic Procedures: Includes pelvic examinations, Pap smears, colposcopy, biopsies, tumor marker tests, and advanced imaging (CT, MRI, PET scans).
Cancer Surgery: Surgical procedures may involve removing the tumor, uterus (hysterectomy), ovaries, or lymph nodes. Minimally invasive approaches like laparoscopy or robotic surgery are used wherever possible for quicker recovery.
Chemotherapy: Uses powerful medications to kill cancer cells, either before surgery (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant).
Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are used to destroy cancer cells, often used in cervical and vaginal cancers.
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: Advanced treatments that attack specific cancer cells or boost the body’s immune response.
Palliative Care and Counseling: Supportive services to manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and offer emotional support for patients and their families.
