About Gynecologic Oncology
A gynecologic oncologist is a physician and
surgeon, who specializes in the care of women with malignant disease
(cancer) of the reproductive organs. Gynecologic oncologists are
“sub-specialists” in obstetrics and gynecology. After graduating from
medical school and spending four years in the field of general obstetrics
and gynecology, they spend up to three additional years devoted to the
diagnosis and care of women with malignant disease of the reproductive
organs.
IN GOOD HANDS
St. John’s is proud to introduce the da Vinci robotic surgery system, the
latest tool in our powerful technological arsenal. The availability of the
da Vinci surgical option means that the recovery time from several common
gynecological procedures is greatly reduced, allowing you to get back to
your life in days, instead of weeks.
