Comprehensive gynecological cancer care
Working across multiple medical specialties, our cancer teams jointly plan your care and tailor treatments to your specific condition. They collaborate in weekly conferences, discuss your personalized plan and share their expertise to deliver the best possible outcome.
Gynecological cancer treatment
Often difficult to diagnose because symptoms can be confused with multiple health conditions, gynecological cancers may spread to other parts of the body before being identified. Attention to abnormal bleeding, screening tests (PAP smears) and routine gynecological exams can help contribute to early detection and faster treatment.
Our services for gynecological cancer might include one or a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, infusion therapy and radiation therapy.
In many situations, conditions treated with surgery can be conducted using minimally invasive techniques that may offer benefits, such as smaller incisions, reduced scarring, less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery.
Additionally, you could benefit from our interventional radiology procedures, such as embolization, to treat fibroids and related conditions. Interventional radiology may also be used alongside urogynecological surgery for pelvic, uterine and vaginal prolapse.
Oncology rehabilitation
Through our hospital's outpatient physical rehabilitation program, we work to help you regain function during and after cancer treatment. Your recuperation, return to daily activities and mindset may benefit from our palliative care, pain management and integrative medicine services.
If you qualify, you can also elect to partake in our cancer clinical trials, which give you access to research-based, innovative treatments.
