Gynaecological oncology is a subspecialty under The Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai that requires a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

The gynecologic oncology surgeons at The Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai are experts in performing surgeries using a laparoscopic approach and risk reduction procedures for inherited cancer syndromes and fertility-sparing surgery.

  • Advanced laparoscopic surgery
    It is quite an effective minimally invasive procedure that guarantees a shorter hospital stay, attributed to its shorter recovery period. A less invasive alternative is laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation. There is no cutting of uterine tissue involved in this procedure, and most women heal completely within a week of the surgery.
  • Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)
    This method of delivering radiation is employed in the treatment of advanced and localised cancers but those that have metastasized from the original site of the tumour in patients who have no other treatment options. The equipment for this procedure is directly brought into the operating room, and direct administration of high-dose radiation is done to the site of cancer during the procedure.
  • Intraperitoneal chemotherapy
    During this therapy, chemotherapy is directly delivered into the abdomen to treat ovarian cancers. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has proved to provide a better chance of survival than intravenous chemotherapy alone.

If you have an inherited disease like cancer, you must discuss your risk and their management with a genetic counsellor so that you understand those better. After a cancer diagnosis, you may want to ask questions about the risk of acquiring cancers in other parts of the body and the chances of your family members developing different types of cancers. The main focus of a genetic counselling session is the prevention of risk factors. It involves a complete evaluation of your medical history, family history, genetic testing, and recommendations for follow-up.
