Division of Gynecologic Oncology
The division of Gynecologic Oncology provides comprehensive care for women with gynecologic malignancies. Women with
known or suspected cancers of the female genital tract (vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tube, ovary), are
offered a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic options, including radical surgery, radiation therapy, and
chemotherapy, as well as newer options, such as laparoscopic surgery and home chemotherapy when appropriate.
Through our participation in the National Cancer Institute's Gynecologic Oncology Group, patients have access to the
latest developments in therapy, including the opportunity to participate in both regional and national
clinical trials.
Our comprehensive approach includes exceptional nursing support for both inpatients and outpatients as well as
access to a full range of supportive services including nutritional and psychological counseling. Ovarian cancer risk
assessment for patients with possible Familial Ovarian Cancer Syndrome includes full discussion of screening tests
and options, with availability of vaginal ultrasound, CA-125 testing, and genetic testing for BRCA-1 and BRCA-2.
Laparoscopic prophylactic oophorectomy is offered for those at extremely high risk.
