Why choose a Gynecologic Oncologist?
Gynecologic Oncology is a medical subspecialty focused on diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system, including cancers of the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, and vulva. A gynecologic oncologist is a physician with specialized training in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for these cancers, acting as the leader of a patient's multidisciplinary care team. After medical school, they complete a 4 year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, followed by a 3 to 4 year fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology. Gynecologic Oncologists offer an integrated, patient-centered approach, working collaboratively with other specialists to create customized treatment plans and provide comprehensive support throughout a patient's cancer journey.
According to ACOG and SGO guidelines, if you have a suspected gynecologic cancer—such as a concerning ovarian mass—it’s vital to be evaluated and operated on by a gynecologic oncologist. This specialist care is associated with better survival outcomes.
