Gynecologic Oncology: Our expertise

Our gynecologic oncologists have expertise in treating endometrial, ovarian, cervical, uterine, vulvar and vaginal caners.

Women often experience symptoms of abdominal pain or bloating, or abnormal vaginal bleeding that prompt them to seek medical attention. A suspicious finding may be noted in an examination or imaging study, such as a pelvic sonogram or computerized tomogram (CT), or a routine Pap smear may be abnormal. If an abnormality is noted, a tissue sample or biopsy must be obtained to determine if cancer is present.

The initial examination is most often done by an obstetrics and gynecology specialist. If more advanced cancer is diagnosed, the patient will usually be referred to a gynecologic oncologist for further evaluation, treatment and follow-up care.
