Gynecologic cancer treatments and services
We offer the area's most advanced options for gynecologic cancer treatment, including specialized surgical care. Our teams of gynecological oncology specialists work together, and, with you and your family, build a care plan that meets your needs.
Chemotherapy
Depending on your cancer, chemotherapy may be used to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. As part of your treatment plan, we offer some of the most advanced targeted and combination therapies with partner centers.
Radiation therapy treatment
If you have gynecologic cancer, radiation therapy is used primarily to treat areas where the cancer has spread, rather than a form of treatment for the primary tumor. It can be administered as external radiation therapy (from outside the body) or internal radiation therapy (a radioactive substance is placed in or near the tumor).
Our clinical trials
Our hospitals offer you access to various clinical trials that could be a part of your care plan. If you are eligible to participate in a clinical trial, your physician and nurse navigator will help you make the decision and guide you through the process. You can find more information about our clinical trials and discuss them with our providers.
Robotic surgery for gynecologic cancer
Many gynecologic cancers are treated with robot-assisted surgical procedures. Our program features highly advanced surgical robots that surgeons use to perform complex surgeries with higher precision and increased accuracy. Benefits to you include shorter hospital stays, minimal scarring and both a faster recovery and return to normal activities.
Survivorship and resources
We provide you with continued care for cancer, starting with your diagnosis, through survivorship. Your nurse navigator, in partnership with your physician, will provide you with a survivorship care plan to take home with you. This document is a comprehensive summary of all aspects of your care, including diagnosis and test results, procedures and follow-up treatments. You will also find contact information for all of your care team members. In addition, a large portion of the plan includes resources to help you keep yourself healthy and strong as you enter the survivorship phase of your journey.
