Fortunately, many of the gynecologic cancers have a high cure rate. This depends however on patient and physician awareness to achieve early diagnosis and institute appropriate treatment. Appropriate treatment of gynecologic cancer is, of course, a result of knowledge, expertise, sympathy and above all a team effort. The hospital boasts an advanced radiotherapy unit and in combination with the expected upgrades in classical and minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery, we will be able to set the basis for a high-quality gynecologic cancer service. We have also initiated the procedure to establish a new colposcopy/loop electrosurgery unit which is expected to provide diagnosis and treatment for precancerous lesions of the cervix and vagina. The department plans to improve the quality of life for gynecologic cancer patients by creating a multidisciplinary cancer care team. This team whose members include an internist, a pain specialist, a psychologist, a dietician, and a specialized nurse in addition to the oncologist will make sure that cancer patients will have the best possible therapeutic outcomes and lead as comfortable and satisfying a life as possible.
