What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Gynecologic Cancer?
Thriving — not just surviving — begins with knowing vital information about your disease and treatment options.
Gynecologic cancers are malignant (cancerous) diseases that affect a woman’s reproductive organs. They arise in different places within a woman's pelvis, which is the area between the hip bones.
Cancer develops in a woman’s reproductive organs when a cell mutates, growing abnormally and out of control. Here at New Hope Unlimited, we use a team approach to treat gynecologic cancers. To us, you are more than a patient, you are an important part of our team and family. Our licensed oncologists, holistic medicine specialists, and several other experts collaborate closely to customize your cancer treatment.
What are the Types of Gynecologic Cancer?
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer can affect one or both ovaries — the two female reproductive glands that produce eggs, as well as the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Fallopian Tube Cancer
Also known as tubal cancer, this rare malignant disease develops in the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries and the uterus.
Uterine Cancer
Uterine cancer begins in the cells of the uterus, which is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where fetal development occurs.
Vaginal Cancer
Vaginal cancer is a rare disease in which malignant cells form in the vagina — the canal leading from the cervix to the outside of a woman’s body.
Vulvar Cancer
Vulvar cancer develops on the outer surface of the female genitalia (vulva), which is the area of skin surrounding the urethra and vagina, including the labia and clitoris.
What are the Signs of Gynecologic Cancer?
Our powerful combination of conventional and alternative cancer treatment may reverse these symptoms of gynecologic cancer, which vary depending on the tumor or cancer cells’ location:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge is common in all gynecologic cancers, with the exception of vulvar cancer.
- Pressure or a painful sensation in the pelvic area is a common symptom of ovarian and uterine cancers.
- Loss of appetite, feeling full too quickly, bloating, and stomach or back pain are prevalent only for ovarian cancer.
- Changes in bowel and bladder habits, such as an increased urge to urinate and constipation are common for vaginal and ovarian cancers.
- Pain, itching, burning, or tenderness of the vulva, as well as changes in the condition and color of the skin, are common only in vulvar cancer.
How Do Doctors Confirm a Gynecologic Cancer Diagnosis?
Earlier detection leads to better gynecologic cancer prognosis and life expectancy. The tests and procedures used to diagnose gynecologic cancer depend on the type and location of the suspected malignancy. A doctor may use the most advanced diagnostic tools available, such as:
- Endoscopy
- Imaging studies, including:
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
- Transvaginal ultrasound
- Molecular tissue testing
- Tissue biopsies and body-fluid samples
