Gynecologic Oncology Surgery

Gynecologic oncology surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers that affect the female reproductive system, such as ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers. Surgeons trained in this specialty use surgical techniques to remove tumors, possibly along with surrounding tissues, to ensure all cancerous cells are eliminated. This type of surgery may also involve staging the cancer to determine its extent and planning further treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is to improve patient outcomes through precise and effective surgical interventions tailored to each individual's condition.
