Northwest Cancer Specialists is a technology leader in the specialty area of Gynecologic Oncology. We offer the most comprehensive treatment options to women with cancer of the reproductive tract, including the latest in minimally invasive surgery, the da Vinci® robotic surgery system.

Our physicians are uniquely trained to treat the broadest range of cancers of the reproductive system. Treatment options for cancers of the female reproductive tract may include:

• Surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation Therapy
• Hormone therapy

Treatment Plans

Treatment plans are individually designed after considering the following factors:

• Type of cancer
• Which organ the cancer started in (uterus, cervix, ovary, etc)
• How aggressive the cancer is (differentiation)
• If the cancer is confined to a localized area or it has spread (metastasized)
• Patient’s overall health
• If pre-menopausal, does the patient desire to get pregnant in the future? (Fertility Sparing Procedures)
