Gynaec Oncology

At T.R.U.E. Hospitals, gynaecologic oncology treatment is handled with a compassionate, personalized approach, focusing on the specific needs of each patient. The hospital’s team of specialists includes gynecologic oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and supportive care staff, all working together to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for women with cancers of the reproductive system.

Treatment for gynecologic cancers—which include cancers of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, vulva, and fallopian tubes—varies depending on the type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. The hospital offers a range of treatment options:

• Surgery: Surgical intervention is often a primary treatment for gynecologic cancers. Depending on the cancer's location and stage, surgery may involve removing the tumor, affected organs (like the uterus, ovaries, or cervix), or lymph nodes to prevent cancer spread. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, may be used for certain types of cancers to reduce recovery time and scarring.
• Chemotherapy: For advanced or metastatic cancers, chemotherapy may be used to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. It may be given before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) to shrink tumors or after surgery (adjuvant therapy) to target remaining cancer cells. The team customizes chemotherapy regimens to suit the patient's cancer type and condition.
• Radiation Therapy: For cancers like cervical cancer, radiation therapy is often used to target cancer cells in the pelvic area, either as a primary treatment or after surgery. This can help reduce the risk of recurrence and shrink tumors before surgery.
• Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: Depending on the cancer’s genetic profile, targeted therapies may be used to block the growth of cancer cells by targeting specific molecules. Immunotherapy, which boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer, is an emerging treatment option for some types of gynecologic cancers, particularly ovarian cancer.
• Palliative Care: In cases where the cancer is advanced or difficult to treat, T.R.U.E. Hospitals offers palliative care focused on relieving symptoms, managing pain, and improving quality of life. Supportive services, including psychological counseling and nutritional guidance, are also available to help patients and their families cope.

Throughout the treatment process, the hospital emphasizes patient-centered care, ensuring that women receive not only the best medical treatment but also the emotional, mental, and physical support needed. A holistic care plan is tailored to each patient, with regular follow-ups to monitor progress and ensure optimal recovery.

T.R.U.E. Hospitals also promotes prevention and early detection, offering screening services and educational resources to raise awareness of gynecologic cancers and help detect them at earlier, more treatable stages.
