GYNAECOLOGICAL CANCERS TREATMENT
Gynaecological cancer
At Cytecare, gynaecological cancers are given special attention and care. We understand that women need their space, which is why we have a dedicated unit for women's oncology. Timely diagnosis and the right way to treatment are critical determinants of cancer treatment, especially those that afflict women, specifically cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Being an organ-site focused cancer hospital, our team comprises of dedicated gynaecological oncologist, gynaecologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist and radiation therapists who have years of experience and clinical expertise with gynaecological cancer. The division of gynaecological-oncology is supported by state-of-the-art technology and care, which drastically improves cancer diagnosis and treatment approach. The comprehensive services provided by the unit also include surgical management of benign, but complex conditions, (fibroids, ovarian mass and cyst) and an evolving field in oncology that deals with restoring and preserving fertility during and after the treatment.
Prevention & Screening
Growing incidences of cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers have increased the cancer burden on women and hence, it is pivotal that women understand the importance of regular screenings and health checks, that help to manage the cancer burden considerably.
Cytecare's department of gynaecological oncology provides screening services for gynaecological cancers including cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. The outcome of cancer both in terms of cost as well as survival is better when cancer is diagnosed early. Women in the 21 to 65 years age group, and those who are sexually active, should get regular screening done.
At Cytecare, the following screenings relevant to gynaecological cancers are available:
