Comprehensive Gynecologic Cancer Care

At Tampa General, our Center for Gynecologic Cancer is one of the most comprehensive cancer care programs in Florida and has some of the best outcomes in the nation. We offer diagnosis, staging and treatment services for cancer of the ovaries, uterus, vagina, vulva, fallopian tubes and cervix in addition to other conditions that affect the female reproductive system.

Tampa General takes on even the most complex cases and performs the most complicated procedures to ensure our patients have the best outcomes possible. We can treat pediatric and pregnant patients and offer fertility preservation techniques and counseling for reproductive-aged women.

Holistic Approach

Treatment plans take a holistic approach to treat patients’ mind, body and emotions as well as provide post-operative life care. As part of this approach, we provide palliative medicine to our patients and our gynecology oncology program is the only one in Florida to offer this service. It allows us to help patients manage their symptoms of pain, nausea, depression and anxiety, and gives them the tools to enjoy an excellent quality of life.
