Screenings for Cervical Cancer
Check with your doctor for guidance on when to get Pap and HPV tests. These screenings look for unusual cervical cells and human papillomavirus, which can lead to cancer.
Ovarian Cancer Genetics
Ask your doctor to refer you to a genetic counselor at AnMed for help to determine if you have inherited gene changes that put you at risk for ovarian cancer.

Treatments
Your treatment options will depend on your cancer type and stage (how far it’s spread). Before starting treatment, let us know if you’d like to discuss ways to preserve your fertility.
Surgery
Whenever possible, your gynecologic oncologist will remove your tumor using minimally invasive techniques that make recovery easier. Doctors at AnMed often use robotic surgery to perform a hysterectomy through tiny incisions. This procedure removes the uterus and sometimes other reproductive organs, depending on the type of cancer.
Medication Therapies
Special medicines can shrink or destroy a cancerous tumor. Medical therapies include:
- Chemotherapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted therapy, which is tailored to your type of tumor
Radiation Therapy
Radiotherapy uses high-energy waves to kill cancer cells in a certain area of the body. Learn about the types of radiation therapy available at AnMed Cancer Center
Clinical Trials
Learn about clinical trials that may be available for gynecologic cancers.
