When Should You Consult a Gynecologic Oncology Specialist
Consider seeking medical evaluation if you experience any of the following symptoms. These symptoms can have several causes and do not necessarily indicate cancer:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause
- Persistent pelvic pain or pressure
- Unexplained bloating or abdominal swelling
- Irregular menstrual cycles or heavy bleeding
- Unusual vaginal discharge
- Family history of gynecologic cancers
Women with ongoing symptoms may initially consult our Gynaecology team and be referred for further oncological evaluation if required.
A healthcare professional can assess persistent or unusual symptoms and advise whether further investigation is needed.
Types of Cancers We Treat
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer assessment and treatment depend on the clinical findings and stage of disease. Screening and diagnostic investigations may be recommended as appropriate. Treatment options, including whether fertility-preserving procedures are suitable, should be discussed with the treating specialist.
Endometrial (Uterine) Cancer
Endometrial cancer may present with abnormal uterine bleeding. Investigations and treatment depend on the diagnosis, disease stage, and individual clinical circumstances. Surgery and lymph node assessment may be considered where appropriate.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer may present with symptoms such as persistent bloating, abdominal discomfort, or changes in appetite. Assessment and treatment depend on the clinical findings and stage of disease. Surgery may form part of treatment for selected patients.
Vulvar & Vaginal Cancer
Treatment for vulvar and vaginal cancers depends on the type, location, and extent of the disease. Surgical and other treatment options should be discussed with the treating specialist, including their potential benefits, risks, and effects on function.
Procedures and Surgical Treatments
Cervical Cancer Surgery
Surgical options for cervical cancer depend on the stage of disease and the patient's clinical circumstances. In selected cases, fertility-preserving procedures may be considered. The treating specialist can explain the available options and their suitability.
Endometrial Cancer Surgery
Surgery for endometrial cancer may involve removal of the uterus and, where indicated, the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The surgical approach depends on the diagnosis and clinical assessment. Potential benefits and risks should be discussed with the treating specialist.
Ovarian Cancer Surgery
Surgery for ovarian cancer may involve removing tumours and affected tissue, depending on the extent of disease and the patient's clinical condition. The role of cytoreductive (debulking) surgery and other treatments should be determined by the treating team.
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy, or surgical removal of the uterus, may be considered for certain cancers and other gynaecological conditions. The reasons for surgery, possible alternatives, risks, and expected recovery depend on the individual case.
Ovarian Cystectomy
Ovarian cyst management depends on the cyst's characteristics, symptoms, and clinical findings. In selected cases, surgery may be recommended for further assessment or treatment.
Vulvar and Vaginal Cancer Surgery
Surgery may be considered for selected vulvar and vaginal cancers. The procedure and its potential effects on function depend on the location and extent of disease and should be discussed with the treating specialist.
