Your gynecologic oncologist will discuss with you any trials that would be appropriate for you to consider. Because we are commltted to developing more effective treatments, we have established a comprehensive laboratory dedicated to gynecologic cancer research. Having our own research laboratory means our patients can benefit more immediately from our discoveries. The University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center offers a wide range of services for patients and families. Seminars and educational programs provide information about all aspects of cancer and personal issues facing patients.
Support groups provide an opportunity to share experiences with others in similar situations.
We believe ongoing communication with your referring physician is extremely important. We are happy to stay in contact with your gynecologist and primary care doctor throughout your treatment and follow-up care. You can call to ask questions about cancer, request free brochures, find out about our Cancer Center or schedule an appointment. Our practice is located in the Courtyard Building of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Use the main entrance to the hospital, located on 34th Street near Spruce Street.
