GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

 

The gynecology and cancer programs at the University of Chicago Hospitals were ranked among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report (July, 1999).

Specialists here are working to discover new methods of detecting and treating ovarian, cervical, and uterine/endometrial cancer. Our gynecologic oncologists are part of a multidisciplinary team including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, clinical nurse specialists, and social workers. The team develops individualized treatment alternatives which the physician discusses with the patient and her family. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of therapies. 

For over half a century, the University of Chicago has been a national leader in cancer research and treatment and has made significant contributions in understanding and treating gynecologic malignancies. Our program is a member of the Gynecologic Oncology Group, a national organization devoted to developing new and effective therapies for gynecologic tumors. As a research center, we offer more treatment options including newer therapies which may not be available at other hospitals. 

Call (773) 702-6123 or toll free, 1 (888) UCH-0200, to schedule an appointment with a University of Chicago gynecologic oncologist.
