Gynecologic Cancer Center

Comprehensive Care for Gynecologic Cancer from Leading Specialists

If you or someone you care about has been told they have gynecologic cancer like ovarian or uterine cancer, it's important to get the best care possible. Our gynecologic oncologists are the only board-certified physicians with advanced training in managing these cancers in Central Massachusetts. Studies show that patients with these kinds of cancers have the best outcomes when treated by a specialist like a gynecologic oncologist.

We also know how important it is to see a specialist quickly. We’re proud to say we can schedule your initial appointment, review your medical history, and start helping you right away.

Dedicated to Providing Personalized and Holistic Care

Our gynecologic oncology team provides comprehensive care throughout your diagnosis, treatment and follow up. We perform complex surgical procedures, guide you through chemotherapy and have the ability to offer you the option to participate in groundbreaking clinical trials when appropriate. 

We work with other specialists like radiation oncologists and genetic counselors to develop a treatment plan just for you. Our nurse navigator can help you with more than just your cancer treatment. They can answer your questions, talk about any worries you have and find resources to support you and your family. Our team of social workers, nutritionists and palliative care specialists help with things like uncomfortable symptoms, eating right, and emotional support. This is what we call multidisciplinary care.

Much of the care we provide is easily accessible at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester with services like chemotherapy or infusion treatments available at UMass Memorial Medical Center and UMass Memorial Health – Marlborough Hospital.

We are with you through each step of your journey, and make sure to involve your loved ones too. After your care is complete, we offer a survivorship program to help you live your best life after cancer treatment.
