The physicians of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology care for women who present with the diagnosis of possible gynecologic cancer or pre-cancerous condition. This includes women who have had abnormal pap smears and/or cervical lesions and need additional work-up to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer; patients with abnormal uterine bleeding to rule out endometrial cancer; patients with vulvar irritations and/or lesions to rule out vulvar cancer; and patients with adnexal or pelvic masses to rule out ovarian cancer. Patients may be self-referred or may be referred to the division by other physicians from the metropolitan St. Louis area, as well as beyond. It is not uncommon for patients to travel hundreds of miles to be cared for by one of the gynecologic oncology specialists at Washington University.

Treatment can include a variety of options including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.  Our physicians are proud to offer our patients effecient and minimally invasive surgery via the da Vinci^™ Surgical System. 

Patients who were diagnosed elsewhere with a gynecologic cancer, or received their primary treatment elsewhere, are also referred here for treatment of their primary or recurrent gynecologic malignancies. Treatment protocols are also offered through the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology through its membership in the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, a clinical research group dedicated to research utilizing radiation therapy techniques. Treatment protocols sponsored by drug companies are also offered through the Division of Gynecologic Oncology.
