About Gynecological Cancer

Gynecological cancer surgery is a specialized procedure performed by a surgical oncologist to treat cancers affecting the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. The primary goal is the complete removal of cancerous tissue, which may involve a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, lymph node dissection, or debulking surgery. The specific approach, whether open, laparoscopic, or robotic, is tailored to the cancer type, stage, and the patient's overall health. This surgery is often a critical component of a multidisciplinary treatment plan, which may also include chemotherapy or radiation. A surgical oncologist's expertise ensures precise tumor removal while striving to preserve fertility and quality of life where possible.

PATIENT REVIEW

Navya Garcia, a 42-year-old high school...

Navya Garcia, a 42-year-old high school Spanish teacher and mother of two teenagers, had been experiencing persistent bloating and a vague sense of pelvic pressure for months, which she initially attributed to perimenopause. When she began having irregular bleeding between periods, she scheduled an appointment with her gynecologist. An ultrasound revealed a complex ovarian mass and elevated CA-125 levels. She was referred to a surgical oncologist, Dr. Evans, who recommended a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and surgical staging to treat a suspected ovarian cancer. Navya was terrified, fearing for her life and her family's future. The surgery confirmed Stage IIIC ovarian cancer. The recovery was physically grueling, compounded by the abrupt onset of surgical menopause. Emotionally, she felt a profound sense of loss for her fertility and her previous sense of health. However, with a clear treatment plan involving chemotherapy and the support of her family and a cancer support group, Navya began to reclaim her strength. Two years later, she is in remission, has returned to teaching part-time, and channels her experience into advocating for ovarian cancer awareness, finding deep purpose in her survivorship.
