Newly Diagnosed Patients
We know that there are a lot of questions that you may have after a gynecologic cancer diagnosis that Minnesota Oncology can help answer as you prepare for your first appointment.
Gynecologic cancer refers to a group of cancers that begin in a woman’s reproductive organs. Each of these cancers is unique with different causes, risk factors, and treatment options. Regardless of the type of gynecologic cancer, the earlier it is found, the greater the chances of being treated successfully. Therefore, understanding more about women's cancers, their risk factors, and symptoms can lower your chance for developing an advanced stage gynecologic cancer.
Most women with a gynecologic cancer will have some type of surgery performed by the gynecologic oncologist. If additional treatments are needed they may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy and/or targeted therapies. There are also clinical trials available for gynecologic cancers. Talk to your Minnesota Oncology cancer specialist about whether you would be a good candidate for a clinical trial.
