Gynecologic oncology

It happens as a result of the growth of abnormal cells within the ovaries. This cancer does not show any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, some signs that may appear are:

• Weight loss
• Abdominal bloating/swelling and a feeling of being full
• Discomfort in the pelvic region
• Fatigue
• A frequent need to urinate
• Changes in bowel habits
• Changes in menstrual pattern

Also known as endometrial cancer, it begins in the layers of the uterus known as the endometrium. Since this cancer shows early signs like abnormal vaginal bleeding, it is often easier to detect.Common signs include:

• Irregular/heavy bleeding per vaginum
• Vaginal bleeding after menopause
• Pelvic discomfort or pain

This type of cancer originates in the cells of the cervix. It is understood that various strains of HPV (human papillomavirus) is one of the main causes of cervical cancer.The early stages of this cancer may produce no noticeable signs. However, some common symptoms are:

• Vaginal bleeding between periods/ after menopause
• Vaginal bleeding after intercourse
• Pelvic pain or discomfort
• Foul odour vaginal discharge

Vulval cancer occurs in the vulva which is the outer skin that surrounds the urethra and vagina. It can be felt as a lump or sore on the vulva and may often cause excessive itching. This cancer is more common in older women.

• Robotic surgery:
  This is an effective minimally invasive technique that has been shown to result in shorter hospital stays, less discomfort and a shorter recovery period.Robotic surgery allows surgeons to operate with increased precision and accuracy while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.This has made cancer day care surgeriers available for our patients reducing the morbidity our open surgery has in selected cancer group of patients.
• HIPEC:
  Hyperthermic (or Heated) Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy is a surgical procedure that’s giving new hope to patients with abdominal cancers. Immediately after removing visible tumors through what’s called cytoreductive surgery,we pump a powerful dose of heated chemotherapy inside a patient’s abdomen. This technique involves the direct delivery of chemotherapy into the abdomen for treatment of ovarian cancer
• Colposcopy and HPV vaccination:
  All our walk in pateints are offered councelling regarding HPV prevention with screening and vaccination
• Genetic counseling:
  If you have a hereditary disease, such as cancer, you may want to talk with a genetic counselor to better understand your risks and risk management options. If you have received a cancer diagnosis, you may have questions about the risk of other cancers occurring in your body and the risk of cancer developing in your family members. A genetic counseling session focuses on prevention of risk factors. It includes a complete family medical history evaluation, genetic testing (if applicable) and follow-up recommendations.
• Coordination of care:
  Gynecologic oncologists work closely with doctors in hematology/medical oncology and radiation oncology. We discuss each person’s treatment, new developments and research aspects of gynecologic oncology. All patients are discussed in our Multidisciplinary tumour board which is a team of Onco-pathologists,Radiologists,Medical oncologist,Radiation oncologist,palliative care specialist,apart from our surgical oncologist.
