Gynaecological Oncology
Comprehensive surgical evaluation and management of selected gynaecological cancers and suspicious conditions, with a focus on careful diagnosis, treatment planning and coordinated care.
Specialist surgical assessment for selected gynaecological cancers and suspicious conditions.
Early evaluation and careful treatment planning are important when a gynaecological condition may be cancerous or suspicious.
Gynaecological oncology deals with cancers and selected precancerous or suspicious conditions affecting the female reproductive system.
Depending on the condition, evaluation may involve clinical examination, imaging, laboratory investigations and tissue diagnosis. Treatment is planned according to the diagnosis, stage and individual clinical circumstances.
Surgical treatment may form an important part of management for selected patients and may be considered as part of a broader multidisciplinary treatment plan when required.
Gynaecological conditions requiring specialist evaluation
Different gynaecological cancers and suspicious conditions require different investigations and treatment approaches.
Ovarian Cancer
Evaluation and treatment planning for selected ovarian tumours and suspected ovarian malignancies.
Uterine Cancer
Assessment and surgical planning for selected cancers involving the uterus.
Cervical Cancer
Specialist evaluation and treatment planning for selected cervical cancer cases.
Endometrial Cancer
Evaluation of abnormalities involving the endometrium and appropriate treatment planning when required.
Adnexal Masses
Assessment of suspicious masses involving the ovaries or surrounding adnexal structures.
Pelvic Tumours
Evaluation and management planning for selected complex pelvic tumours and suspicious lesions.
Treatment planning begins with an accurate diagnosis
A thorough evaluation helps establish the nature of the condition and provides information required for treatment planning.
Surgical treatment tailored to the diagnosis
Surgical treatment depends on the type of cancer or suspicious condition, its extent and the patient's individual clinical circumstances.
Ovarian Cancer Surgery
Surgical management of selected ovarian malignancies following appropriate diagnostic evaluation and planning.
Uterine Cancer Surgery
Surgical treatment for selected cancers involving the uterus based on the individual diagnosis.
Cervical Cancer Surgery
Selected surgical procedures may be considered depending on disease characteristics and treatment requirements.
Staging Procedures
Surgical assessment may help determine the extent of disease and contribute to treatment planning in selected cases.
Pelvic Tumour Surgery
Selected pelvic tumours may require surgical evaluation and carefully planned operative treatment.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive approaches may be appropriate for selected patients and procedures.
A coordinated pathway from diagnosis to follow-up
Each stage is focused on understanding the condition, planning appropriate treatment and supporting the patient throughout care.
Consultation
Discuss symptoms, medical history, previous reports and concerns.
Diagnosis
Complete appropriate clinical, laboratory and imaging evaluation.
Treatment Planning
Discuss surgical and other appropriate treatment options according to the diagnosis.
Follow-up
Continue postoperative and clinical follow-up according to individual treatment requirements.
Care continues beyond the operation
Follow-up after treatment is an important part of care. The nature and frequency of follow-up depend on the diagnosis, treatment received and individual clinical needs.
Every treatment plan is based on the individual diagnosis.
Gynaecological cancers can differ considerably in their type, extent and treatment requirements. Your treating team can explain the diagnosis and available options specific to your situation.
