Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health South Florida has a renowned gynecologic oncology team who will treat your cancer effectively while providing compassionate, patient-centric care.
Gynecologic oncology is a sub-specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. Our gynecologic oncologists at Miami Cancer Institute have additional training in gastrointestinal, urologic and complex abdominal and pelvic surgery. Our specialists also take a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, which includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
Our physicians have access to a range of innovative technologies to diagnose and treat your specific cancer. We combine these technology with weekly tumor boards, where multidisciplinary experts review every new patient and work together to create a personalized treatment plan that helps address your individual needs. Through our alliance with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, your care team also meets quarterly with other gynecologic oncology experts to discuss standards of care and the latest developments in gynecologic cancer treatment.
As leaders in gynecologic cancer surgery, our team has one of the largest minimally invasive gynecologic surgical programs in the region and holds a designation as a center of excellence in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery by the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL). Miami Cancer Institute also takes a multi-specialty approach to gynecologic surgeries, and care teams collaborate with surgery specialists from different treatment areas to help create a comprehensive care plan for each patient.
Your gynecologic oncologists will also work closely with specialists in our next-generation genomic sequencing laboratory to help pinpoint your exact type of tumor and the most effective way to treat the cancer.
Each individualized care plan includes services to address your whole journey as a patient, including nutritional advice, physical therapy, psychosocial therapy and pain management services.
