What is Gynecologic Oncology?

Cancer that starts in a woman’s reproductive organs is called gynecologic cancer, and includes ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, vulvar and endometrial cancer, among others. They can be treated with a variety of therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation, minimally invasive surgical techniques, advanced laparoscopy and robotic surgery, as well as complex gynecologic surgery and pelvic reconstruction.

The gynecologic oncologists at Fort Wayne Medical Oncology and Hematology specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive organs. Following a referral from another treating physician, our practice may provide consultation and management of complex benign gynecologic conditions as well.
