Our physicians design customized treatment programs that offer the most precise and effective therapy available. In fact, all newly diagnosed patients' situations are reviewed by a team of specialty physicians to ensure the appropriate and most effective care is delivered. Following its expert evaluation, our team offers a diversity of treatment options, including surgery for complex gynecologic malignancies.

Among those surgical options are laparoscopic staging procedures for endometrial and cervical cancers. In addition to its application in staging gynecological cancers, laparoscopy can be used to perform radical hysterectomies for the treatment of cervical cancer. This less-invasive approach results in decreased pain and recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal routines within two weeks rather than four to six.
