Department of Gynae Oncology
The department of Gynecology Oncology deals with female genital cancers. The department provides both preventive and curative treatments for cancers of uterus, cervix, ovary, vulva & vagina and Gestational tumors. Special emphasis is given to preventive measures so that cancers can be detected and treated in pre-cancer or early stage.
Highly experienced team of doctors provide comprehensive care of gynecological cancers which includes both radical and ultra- radical surgical treatment, medical management and radiotherapy. Each case is discussed in tumor board before final planning of treatment. Facilities for terminal care of patients are available with all supportive modalities.
Cancer Prevention Clinic: Routine health check-up can prevent cancer in 80% of women. Physical examination and screening tests can detect abnormalities in pre- cancer stage and if treated properly, cancer can be prevented.
Screening for cancer cervix is done by , PAP test and HPV DNA test. Latest Liquid Based cytology and Hybrid Capture II technique are available for detection of pre cancerous lesions of cervix and HPV infection and early invasive cancers.
Colposcopy is the examination of cervix under magnification and bright light illumination. With use of acetic acid and/or iodine, abnormality becomes prominent and accurate biopsy can be taken. This test is indicated whenever VIA or PAP test is positive or if patient is having post- coital / inter-menstrual/ post menopausal bleeding. It is a simple and inexpensive test done on out-patient basis for early detection of cancer of cervix.
Cryotherapy is an ablative procedure, done on OPD basis, for treatment of non malignant and pre cancerous lesions of cervix. The superficial layer of epithelium is frozen using Nitrous oxide/ CO2 with help of a cryoprobe.
Conization is removal of piece of cervix in shape of a cone ,with the help of electrocautery ( LEEP). The procedure is simple, done on OPD basis and is both therapeutic and diagnostic in pre cancer stage of cervix.
Radical surgery (Wertheim’s hysterectomy) for Cancer cervix stage I and II is done using advanced technology and electrosurgical instruments.
