Women’s Cancers
Patients with cancers of the female reproductive system are able to receive surgical and medical management of their condition from a board certified gynecologic oncologist at Singing River Cancer Center.
Providing Surgical and Medical Management of Female Cancers
Cervical Cancer
The cervix is prone to develop precancerous cells that may turn into cancer over time, particularly if a woman has been exposed to Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV. If precancerous lesions are left untreated, they can develop into an invasive cancer that requires additional treatment. Click to learn more about treatments for cervical cancer.
Uterine Cancer
Also known as Endometrial cancer, Uterine Cancer is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive system. This cancer is typically diagnosed by a Gynecologic Oncologist and treated by a hysterectomy with removal of certain pelvic lymph nodes.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a relatively rare cancer, but there is no screening test to find it in asymptomatic patients. The result is that ovarian cancer tends to be diagnosed in advanced stages like III or IV. Click to learn more about the symptoms of ovarian cancer and treatment options.
