A gynecological oncologist is one who treats disorders and diseases related to the female reproductive system. Most of the women above 40 are likely to get affected by cancer. A gynecological is expert in treating malignancy related to uterus, pelvis, ovaries and vagina. Generally women are prone to breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is also known as silent killer. It does not occur with symptoms. Most of the times, ovarian cancer is diagnosed after metastasized to other organs. In the recent years gynecologist have discovered that certain women develop symptoms like urinary urgency, pelvic pain, bloating of the abdomen, indigestion, pain when having sex, change in bladder habits, lack of energy, loss of appetite, low back pain and changes in menstruation.
The gynecological oncologist will diagnose these symptoms and treat the patient in an early stage before metastasis can take place. Metastasis can take place in 2 ways, the cancerous cells either spread to the adjacent tissues and organs or they mix directly in the blood stream thereby affecting almost all the organs. The three basic type of ovarian cancer that the gynecological oncologist is expert in treating are germ cell tumors which occurs in the cells of the egg and is common in young ladies, stromal cell tumors occur in the harmone producing tissues which is responsible for holding the ovaries together and epithelial tumors is the most common type of cancer which occurs in the epithelial lining of the ovaries.
A gynecological oncologist treats malignancy through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. A physician recommends surgery to other treatments. During surgery, the gynecologist may remove the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes as well as the nearby lymph nodes. Debulking is also done where the fatty tissues of the abdomen known as the omentum and part of intestine is removed.
