Gynecologic Cancers
Why Choose Us
Personalized care for gynecologic cancers
If you've been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer, you may be concerned about your future, how you will feel during treatment, your fertility, and your sexuality. At the Weill Cornell Medicine Meyer Cancer Center at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, we provide seamless, state-of-the-art care for women with gynecologic cancers — including those of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, and vulva, as well as gestational trophoblastic disease — in a personal and compassionate environment.
From screening and diagnosis and to treatment and follow-up care, we provide the full range of services. If you have an increased risk of ovarian cancer because of a family history of the disease, you can consult with a genetic counselor and undergo genetic testing (for example, screening for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations or Lynch syndrome). If you have such a mutation, we'll offer you several options to greatly decrease your risk of developing ovarian and fallopian tube cancer. If you have been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer, your treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of those approaches, depending on the type, stage, and biology of your cancer.
Our hospital is also a site for the NRG Oncology Group, which brings together the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, and the Gynecologic Oncology Group — each recognized internationally as a leader in cancer research. Through our relationship with Weill Cornell Medicine, we are a member of the academically prestigious Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. You may have the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial of a promising new gynecologic cancer therapy.
