Comprehensive Care: Not sure what you're asking but gyn oncologists are trained to treat cancer surgically, use chemo & newer "biological" treatments, as well as recommend radiation. They are the "quarterback" of gynecologic cancer care. Some don't give chemo & work with a medical oncologist, but should still be part of your team throughout care. If you have a gynecologic cancer or suspect it, get a gyn onc opinion
