Gynaecologic Oncology

Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy

Gynaecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that affect the female reproductive system. This includes cancers of the ovaries, cervix, uterus, vagina, and vulva. Gynaecologic cancers are relatively rare compared to other types of cancer, but they can have a significant impact on a woman’s health and quality of life. Gynaecologic oncologists are specially trained to diagnose and treat these cancers, providing patients with comprehensive care that addresses their unique needs and concerns.One of the key aspects of gynaecologic oncology is early detection and diagnosis. Because gynaecologic cancers often do not cause symptoms in the early stages, they can be difficult to detect. However, regular screening tests, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, can help detect abnormalities early on, when they are most treatable.
