Gynecologic Oncology

Presbyterian Cancer Care provides inpatient and outpatient services for gynecological cancers, such as ovarian, uterine, cervical and vulvar cancers. Our team has access to advanced imaging modalities including PET scans, CT scans and MRIs, to provide diagnostic information. After diagnosis, working with your cancer care team, our gynecologic oncologists can perform a wide variety of surgeries, including less-invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgeries. This team also administers both intravenous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, with facilities for both inpatient and outpatient treatments. Coordinated care with the Ted and Margaret Jorgensen Cancer Center can provide outpatient infusions as well.

Patient cases may be reviewed at weekly multidisciplinary tumor board meetings that include our breast surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and support staff. Our support staff includes nurse navigators, social workers, psychiatrists, nutritionists, palliative care specialists, physical and occupational therapists, and financial advocates.
