Comprehensive Gynecologic Cancer Care

Gynecologic Cancers We Treat

Cervical cancer: We offer fertility-sparing options for surgical treatments. If the tumor is too large to be treated surgically, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are required. Even if the tumor is inoperable, early-stage cervical cancers are often curable. Learn about screenings and take our online risk assessment.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN): This rare class of gynecologic malignancies begins in the pregnancy tissue (often in the placenta) and is profoundly sensitive to chemotherapy. Many patients treated for GTN will achieve complete remission, and cancer will not recur.

Ovarian/Fallopian tube/Primary peritoneal cancers: Recent advances in targeted therapy have drastically improved ovarian cancer prognosis for many women. It is vital to obtain genetic testing as soon as possible after diagnosis. Treatment usually consists of surgical removal of all tumor implants in the abdominal cavity in combination with chemotherapy. Take our online risk assessment.

Uterine cancers: Endometrial cancer is the most common type of uterine cancer and the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States. A minimally invasive surgical removal often treats cancer of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Robotic surgery allows for sentinel lymph node evaluation and substantially lowers the risk of postoperative lymphedema. Some patients may require postoperative radiation and possibly chemotherapy, but many patients only require surgery.

Uterine sarcoma: Uterine sarcomas, such as leiomyosarcoma, are often diagnosed unexpectedly following fibroids surgery in the early stages. Advanced-stage diseases require additional aggressive treatment with chemotherapy. Due to the aggressive nature of this disease, it is vital to have a personalized approach to treatment.

Vaginal and vulvar cancer: These cancers are rarer than cervical cancer but are often treated similarly, with either surgical resection of the affected vagina or vulva, evaluation of the groin lymph nodes, or postoperative radiation.
