Gynecologic Cancer Clinic

Cervical Cancer

treatment varies according to disease stage, from fertility-preserving surgery that excises only the affected tissue to extensive laparoscopic hysterectomy. Advanced cases may be treated with radiation therapy, often combined with chemotherapy. Each case is carefully evaluated by a multidisciplinary team comprising specialists in Gynecology, Hematology & Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, Pathology, and Oncology Nursing, ensuring that every patient receives the most appropriate, individualized care. Regular case conferences are also conducted to review patients’ initial diagnoses, determine optimal treatment strategies, assess treatment outcomes, monitor for recurrence, and manage recurrent disease.

Ovarian and Peritoneal Cancer Clinic

Our clinic provides treatment for ovarian cancer, primary fallopian tube cancer, peritoneal cancer of unknown origin (when other intra-abdominal primary cancers cannot be identified), and peritoneal dissemination resulting from pseudomyxoma peritonei.
Peritoneal cancer can originate from various intra-abdominal organs, including the ovaries, stomach, colon, and pancreas. Patients with peritoneal cancer whose primary organ has already been identified are referred to the respective organ-specific center. However, patients whose primary cancer site has not been identified can register at the Peritoneal Cancer Clinic, where they undergo evaluation and are referred to the appropriate organ-specific center once the primary lesion is confirmed.
Among peritoneal cancers, ovarian cancer, primary fallopian tube cancer, peritoneal cancer (pseudomyxoma peritonei), and mesothelioma are often accompanied by peritoneal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. However, by performing cytoreductive surgery—an operation aimed at removing as much of the tumor as possible—treatment outcomes can be maximized.
Chemotherapy is administered either as neoadjuvant therapy before surgery or as adjuvant therapy after surgery, depending on the stage of the disease.
