Comprehensive treatment for gynecologic cancers
Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at HealthONE offers some of the Rocky Mountain region’s most advanced gynecologic cancer treatments, in a supportive,compassionate environment at multiple hospitals located throughout the metro Denver area.
Our teams of gynecologic oncology specialists work together, and with you, to create an individualized treatment plan to fit your unique needs. This may include:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Surgery
- Clinical trials
Advanced chemotherapy options for cancer treatment
Depending on your cancer, chemotherapy may be used to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. We offer some of the latest targeted and combination therapies with partner centers as part of your treatment plan.
One of the newest treatments offered for ovarian cancers is hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). During surgery, chemotherapy drugs are heated and administered directly into the abdominal cavity. This treatment may improve survival rates in ovarian cancer patients.
Targeted radiation therapy treatment
Radiation therapy for patients with gynecological cancer is used primarily to treat areas to which the cancer has spread, rather than as a form of treatment for the primary tumor. It can be administered either as external radiation therapy (from outside the body) or internal radiation therapy (a radioactive substance is placed in or near the tumor).
Robotic surgery for gynecologic cancer treatment
Robotic-assisted surgical procedures are used for treatment of many gynecologic cancers. Our program features highly advanced surgical robots that specially trained surgeons use to perform complex surgeries with higher precision and increased accuracy. Benefits to the patient include less pain, lower risk of infection, fewer scars, and a faster recovery and quicker return to normal activities.
