Conditions that we treat
>
Ovarian cancer
Cancers that start on the ovaries, or the organs that ovulate and make eggs necessary for fertilization and pregnancy.
Fallopian tube cancers (cancers of the tubes that connect the womb to the ovary) and primary peritoneal cancers (cancers of the lining of the abdomen and pelvis) are often lumped in with ovarian cancers as they behave the same and treated the same.
Uterine cancer
Cancer of the lining of the womb, or endometrial cancer, is one of the most common cancers we see and treat.
Cancers of the connective tissue or muscular wall of the uterus are less common and are called “sarcomas.”
Cervical cancer
Cancers of the lower part of the womb, where it meets with the vagina. These are often detected with pap smears and many can be prevented with HPV vaccination.
Vaginal cancer
Cancer of the vaginal canal.
Vulvar cancer
Cancer of the tissue just outside of the vagina, otherwise known as the vulva.
Gestational trophoblastic disease
Sometimes pregnancy tissue can be abnormal. This abnormal tissue can put you at risk for a cancer or develop into a frank cancer.
Hereditary predisposition to cancer
There are a variety of familial syndromes that can be inherited and increase your risk of gynecologic cancers. Sometimes we recommend additional tests to screen you more closely for cancer or certain treatments or surgeries that can reduce your risk of developing cancer.
Complex Gynecologic Conditions
Occasionally a gynecologic condition that is not cancerous but is medically or surgically complex and we are available to help with these conditions as well.
- Ovarian, uterine or pelvic masses that are surgically complex or represent a potential cancer
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Vulvar conditions
- HPV related diseases
- History of complex pelvic surgery
