Comprehensive Gynecologic Oncology Center
The Comprehensive Gynecologic Oncology Center specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant female reproductive system diseases. In addition to treating women diagnosed with cancer, the Comprehensive Gynecologic Oncology Center offers women a wide array of services for routine gynecologic care, including physical examinations and pap smears, risk assessments and counseling about ways to present cancer, and the evaluation of pelvic masses and abnormal bleeding.
Physicians work as a team to develop an individualized treatment plan for the patient that encompasses the latest advances in surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and reproductive medicine. Surgeons in the Comprehensive Gynecologic Oncology Center have extensive experience in minimally invasive laprascopic surgery for the treatment of women with gynecologic cancers.
Treatment plans are thoroughly discussed with patients and their family members, and when appropriate, women are invited to participate in the latest clinical trials in gynecologic oncology.

Addressing the emotional and social needs of women with gynecologic cancer is an important part of the treatment plan. To learn more about how the Cancer Center supports a holistic approach to caring for patients, visit the Patient Support section of our Web site.
