Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Cancer or possible: A gynecologic oncologist treats women's cancers. If a cancer is diagnosed or suspected, or if a pre-cancer is not going away despite treatment you may be referred.

See Below: For any type of cancer or pre-cancer of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. We also see complex gynecologic cases that are too difficult to manage by a gynecologist such as large fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian masses, etc. If not sure, ask your gynecologist for a referral.
