Gynecologic Oncologists provide sub-specialty care to women with cancers or pre-cancers of the reproductive organs. They complete the same type of medical school and residency training as general OB/GYN’s. Then they undergo an additional 3 or 4 years of training in a “fellowship” that specializes in the comprehensive care of women with cancers of the uterus, ovaries, cervix, vagina, or vulva. This provides them with the experience and background to perform surgery, administer chemotherapy, direct radiation treatments in conjunction with radiation oncologists, and continue long-term surveillance of women with cancers of the female organs. Gynecologic Oncologists have extensive experience and training in performing complex pelvic surgery, and sometimes they also perform surgery on women who don’t necessarily have cancer but who need a complex operation. They do not provide any obstetrical care nor do they see patients for routine gynecologic exams or birth control counseling. There are many excellent OB/GYN’s in Las Vegas to provide these services.
