A comprehensive array of diagnostic and therapeutic services are provided by our gynecological oncology units, including:
Comprehensive Cancer Diagnosis and Screening
An essential component of gynecological oncology is comprehensive cancer screening and diagnostics, which attempts to identify tumors early and offer rapid and accurate diagnosis. Gynecological oncologists at Medicana Hospitals assess a patient's status using a variety of screening and diagnostic techniques, such as physical examinations, ultrasonography, biopsies, and laboratory tests.
Pap smears and HPV tests are routinely used to check for cancer cells in cases of cervical cancer. Transvaginal ultrasonography and CA-125 blood tests are frequently used to identify ovarian cancer. In addition to pelvic exams, ultrasound, and biopsy, endometrial cancer can also be detected by screening.
Gynecological oncologists at Medicana Hospitals will utilize their experience to identify the stage and kind of cancer in a patient if it is discovered that they have it; this information will help establish the patient's treatment strategy. To give the best care possible, the gynecological oncologists will collaborate closely with a group of specialists, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists.
The gynecological oncologists at Medicana offer the best cancer screening and diagnosis services thanks to their extensive training, specialization, and dedication to patient care. They are committed to giving patients the required treatment, whether they seek routine screening or require an immediate and accurate cancer diagnosis.
Medical Oncology
Two significant subspecialties in oncology focus on the diagnosis, care, and treatment of cancer patients: medical oncology and gynecological oncology.
Medical oncologists focus on using chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other systemic medicines to treat cancer. They collaborate closely with the other cancer care team members to create individualized treatment regimens for every patient, considering the patient's general wellbeing, the kind and stage of their disease, and any other pertinent considerations.
Conversely, gynecological oncologists are experts in the detection and management of malignancies of the female reproductive system, such as those of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. They treat these cancers and assist patients in regaining their health and quality of life by utilizing a variety of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

With cutting-edge tools, techniques, and a patient-centered philosophy, we are dedicated to assisting our patients in achieving the most outstanding results.
Radiation Oncology
A specialist area of medicine called radiation oncology involves employing radiation therapy to treat cancer. High-energy radiation beams, such as X-rays and gamma rays, are used in this therapy to destroy cancer cells and reduce tumor size. To provide comprehensive cancer care, radiation therapy is frequently used in conjunction with other treatments, like chemotherapy and surgery.
The objective of radiation oncology is to enhance radiation's ability to combat cancer while limiting its adverse effects on nearby healthy tissue. To do this, radiation oncologists collaborate closely with medical specialists, such as radiation therapists, dosimetrists, and medical physicists, to create a unique treatment plan for each patient.
Radiation oncologists can deliver more precise radiation doses to the cancer site using cutting-edge technologies like Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), which minimizes the risk of side effects and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.
A subfield of oncology known as gynecological oncology specializes in detecting and managing cancers that affect the female reproductive system, specifically the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. This specialty treats gynecological cancers comprehensively by combining the skills of gynecologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists.
In gynecological oncology, medical and radiation oncologists collaborate to create a specific treatment plan that, depending on the kind and stage of the disease, may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The three primary treatment objectives are curing the cancer, stopping its spread, and enhancing the patient's quality of life.

This can involve methods to control discomfort and encourage healing and exercises to increase strength and range of motion.
Physical therapy can also lower the risk of complications after surgery and enhance the results. For individuals who have been immobilized for a prolonged period due to surgery or sickness, physical therapy can, for instance, restore circulation and help prevent blood clots.
Rehabilitation and physical therapy can also enhance a person's emotional wellbeing and assist in managing fatigue. Gynecological cancer patients might suffer significant changes to their physical and emotional wellbeing as a result of their condition and therapies, making the physical and mental benefits of rehabilitation particularly crucial for them.
