What is a Gynecologic Oncologist?

Gynecologic oncologists are board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) who have an additional 3-4 years of specialized training in treating gynecologic cancers from an American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology-approved fellowship program. A gynecologic oncologist can manage your care from diagnosis to completion of treatment providing both complex surgery and drug therapies (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, clinical trial referral), supportive care, and survivorship plans.

What conditions are treated by Gynecologic Oncology?

Gynecologic oncologists are dedicated to the treatment of cancers of the reproductive system. These include:
  • Cervical Cancer
  • Endometrial Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
  • Uterine Cancer
  • Vaginal Cancer
  • Vulvar Cancer
  • Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (Complex Molar Pregnancy)
