Gynecologic Cancer Care

Each year, more than 71,000 women are diagnosed with gynecologic cancer, which includes cervical, ovarian and uterine cancer. Early detection and expert care are key to better outcomes. 

Our approach to gynecologic cancer

At UCI Health, we take a compassionate, patient-centered approach to gynecologic oncology, offering personalized care to women with gynecologic cancers. 

Our experts in cervical, ovarian, uterine and other reproductive cancers work closely with you to create a unique, tailored treatment plan.

 

We understand that every diagnosis is different. Our approach combines the latest in medical research with a holistic understanding of your physical, emotional and personal well-being. 

 

A collaborative approach

Our multidisciplinary team includes gynecologic and medical oncologists, radiation specialists, genetic counselors and support staff.  We collaborate regularly to make sure you receive the most comprehensive care.

We use leading-edge treatments such as robotic surgery, minimally invasive techniques and hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy or HIPEC (a unique chemotherapy approach). Our clinical trials provide access to the latest therapies. From diagnosis through recovery, we’re here to support you every step of the way.  We don’t just offer treatment, but a partnership focused on your health, comfort and healing.

Why choose UCI Health for gynecologic cancer care?

At the forefront of research

As part of the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer access to innovative clinical trials, giving you access to the latest treatments and therapies years before they are available to the general public.

Pioneering treatments

We were among the first in the region to offer hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy or HIPEC, a unique treatment designed to kill ovarian cancer cells left behind after surgery.

Unique screening and survivorship program

We offer the only high-risk ovarian cancer screening and survivorship program in Orange County. Ann's Clinic was developed in partnership with the Queen of Hearts Foundation, an Orange County nonprofit group. It was formed by the children of Ann S. Dobbie, who died of ovarian cancer within six months of her diagnosis.

Ann's Clinic is central to UCI Health Ovarian Cancer Center's efforts to promote early detection, survivorship and prevention of ovarian cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers.
