In addition, patients experience less blood loss because this minimally invasive surgical option only requires five small incisions instead of one large one.
With this improved surgical procedure, patients are then able to move more quickly to the next treatment phase of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, if necessary.
Other pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions of the reproductive tract treated by gynecologic oncology at the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion include uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancer. Some of these cancers cause symptoms such as bleeding, pain, pressure or bloating that can help physicians discover the problem at an earlier stage.
The exception to early detection is ovarian cancer as this type of cancer is very aggressive and does not show early warning signs. Currently, there are no approved screening tests for ovarian cancer, but the experts at the LCRP monitor all technological advances through our research efforts.
