Gynaec Oncology

Though internationally, gynecological oncology has separated as a sub-specialty, this trend is not very apparent in India. However, at DHRC, the department of gynecologic oncology has been in existence from the beginning of the hospital in 1994. The Department has been regularly carrying out extensive surgeries for all gynecological cancers and achieving good results.

Although gynecologic surgeries are routinely performed for non-malignant causes, surgery in gynecological cancers is much more extensive and requires wide parametrial resection, lymph node dissection in the pelvis and para-aortic area, and extrapelvic surgery especially in ovarian cancer.

Such extensive surgeries usually require additional training and experience compared to general gynecology. In addition, management of cancer today follows a multimodal approach, and integration of surgery with non-surgical treatments such as, chemotherapy and radiation therapy is essential to improve outcome. Gynecological oncologists are best suited for this as they are focusing only on gynecological cancers.

Results of management of gynecological malignancies are far improved if they are managed by dedicated gynecologic oncologists as compared to general gynecologists.

The department is implementing NABH standard and ISO system, and is working towards CQI.
