What is Gynecologic Oncology?
Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of cancers affecting the female reproductive organs. This includes cancers of the cervix, ovaries, uterus (endometrium), fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. Gynecologic oncologists are specifically trained to manage both the oncological and gynecological aspects of these complex diseases.
