Early Detection and Treatment for Cervical and Other Inherited Cancers

Some women face a higher risk of cervical cancer due to gene abnormalities passed down in families. Our genetic testing services detect these abnormalities and genetic counselors explain what they mean for your health.

In some cases, you may be at risk for multiple types of cancer, including breast and colorectal. We develop a personalized screening plan to catch cancer in earlier stages when treatment is more likely to be successful.

Surgical Treatment for Gynecologic Cancers

Treatment for gynecologic cancers often includes surgery to remove the cancer. Our team excels in techniques you might not typically expect to find in community settings such as ours. Many women with uterine and early-stage ovarian cancer have robotic surgery.

We operate through tiny incisions and use robotic technology to guide instruments with a high degree of precision. This technique allows us to preserve more healthy tissue and leads to a faster recovery.

Additional Gynecologic Cancer Treatments and Support Services

In addition to surgery, your personalized care plan may also include:
