The role of this specialty

This field includes cervical, endometrial, ovarian, vulvar, and vaginal cancers. Nearby organs do not imply the same disease or treatment.

Information assessed

Biopsy and pathology, imaging, reproductive status, organ function, and family history are considered according to disease. Screening differs from diagnosis.

Working with other disciplines

Surgery, radiation, medicines, nutrition, and pelvic rehabilitation may combine. Fertility, sexual function, and menopausal effects should be discussed early.

Distinctions that matter

Hysterectomy does not automatically include ovary removal. Surgical extent depends on disease and goals, not one general label.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

Read the video transcript

Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.
