Gynaecologic Oncology
It is the recognized subspecialty of Gynaecology that is concerned with the management, treatment, and prevention of all forms of gynaecologic cancer specifically endometrial, cervical, ovarian, vulvar, and vaginal cancers.
Comprehensive Therapeutic Approach
At the same time, Gynaecologic Oncology ensures the appropriate and timely coordination of the patient with adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Choices are made in a multidisciplinary setting, based on tumor stage and biology, with individualized plans and systematic monitoring of response and adverse effects.
Prevention and Early Diagnosis
Particular emphasis is placed on prevention and early diagnosis through organized screening programs (screening) and modern imaging. These include Pap/HPV testing for the cervix, ultrasound and, when indicated, magnetic resonance imaging, together with information on risk factors and vaccination against HPV.
