Women's Health Services | Gynecologic Oncology

The Women's Health Services program at Hartford Hospital provides a full gynecologic oncology program.

Expert gynecologic oncologists are available for consultation, treatment and long term follow-up. They specialize in care of patients with cancer of the ovary, uterus, cervix and vulva. The gynecologic oncologist works closely with members of the radiation therapy and medical oncology departments to ensure comprehensive care.

We participate in the national Gynecology Oncology Group (GOG) to foster ongoing research and improvement in patient care. Our clinicians are members of national societies. We espouse the team approach to care, in order to ensure that all aspects of a woman's health and well being are addressed.

All other areas of the Women's Health Services program at Hartford Hospital are available to patients in this program including colposcopy for abnormal Pap smears, hormone replacement therapy for menopause, and the Women's Ambulatory Health Service for the community.

Dealing with a diagnosis of cancer is made easier with clear information, emotional support and assistance with challenging decisions. Although your health care team will provide you with information about cancer, you may think of other questions when you are not with a health care professional or you may be afraid or embarrassed to ask questions.
