Treatment Options
No matter what type of gynecologic cancer you have—you can access multidisciplinary care at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, including:
- Immunotherapy - A medication-based approach that helps your own immune system to find and fight cancer cells.
- Targeted Therapies - A medication-based approach that helps to slow the growth or even destroying cancer cells.
- Hormone Therapy - A medication-based approach that stops certain cancers from growing by blocking the production of hormones that the cancers use to grow.
- Radiation Therapy - A technology-based approach that uses very targeted high-energy X-rays to find and destroy cancer cells. This painless process uses our Truebeam Linear Accelerator to protect healthy tissue.
- Surgery - In every case where it’s possible, we use minimally-invasive approaches to remove cancer while preserving organ function and fertility.
- Chemotherapy - This medication-based approach can shrink tumors before surgery, destroy cancer in the bloodstream, and stop it from spreading or recurring.
