Specialists working in this field diagnose and treat gynecological cancers such as uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer. As Enodia Health, we are committed to supporting women's fight against cancer with our teams specialized in gynecological oncology.
Services Provided in the Field of Gynecological Oncology
- Diagnostic Evaluation: Gynecologic oncologists use diagnostic tests such as various imaging tests, biopsies, and blood tests to diagnose gynecologic cancers. This helps determine the treatment plan based on the type, stage and spread of the cancer.
- Surgical treatment: Most gynecological cancers require surgical intervention. Gynecologic oncologists perform surgical procedures to remove cancerous tissue. These procedures may include hysterectomy, oophorectomy, lymph node removal, and other surgical interventions.
- Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is the use of high-energy rays to destroy or control cancer cells. Gynecologic oncologists may use radiotherapy as part of cancer treatment.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells or control their growth. Gynecologic oncologists may use chemotherapy as part of cancer treatment or administer chemotherapy before or after surgery.
- Hormonal Therapy: Hormonal therapy is used especially for hormone-related cancers such as uterine cancer. Gynecologic oncologists recommend hormonal therapy as part of the cancer treatment plan, depending on hormone receptors.
Gynecological Oncology Application Areas
- Uterine Cancer (Endometrial Cancer): Uterine cancer occurs as a result of abnormal growth of cells in the inner layer of the uterus (endometrium). Gynecological oncologists recommend treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of uterine cancer.
