Gynecologic Oncology
Virtua’s gynecologic (GYN) oncologists are skilled in diagnosing and treating GYN cancers and providing reassuring support.
Our GYN oncologists partner with you and your support team to ensure you understand your GYN cancer diagnosis and treatment options.
Our Approach to GYN Oncology
We understand the uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, and we’re here to listen, answer questions, and offer reassuring care. We do this through:
The strength and resources of the Penn Medicine | Virtua Health Cancer Program: You have access to the most advanced cancer treatment options and personalized support services to care for your physical and emotional needs—all close to home in South Jersey.
Your care team is led by fellowship-trained, board-certified gynecologic oncologists who work closely with your gynecologist and radiation and medical oncologists to provide comprehensive, integrated care.
Advanced surgical treatment options: Surgery is the most common treatment for GYN cancer. Our expert surgeons provide minimally invasive and robotic surgery options. When robotic surgery is feasible, it provides faster recovery, lower risk of infection, and less pain and scarring.
Experienced pelvic health specialists: Urinary incontinence and pain with sex are common in women with gynecologic cancer. We can connect you with Virtua’s female pelvic medicine team who can help you return to optimal function, comfort, and activity. In addition, our sexual wellness and pelvic health experts provide specialized care to support your physical and emotional health and help restore your sexual wellbeing.
Dedicated oncology nurse navigation: Your oncology nurse navigator provides personalized support before, during and after cancer treatment to help you understand your diagnosis, streamline communications and scheduling, and connect you to supportive services.
Comprehensive support throughout treatment: Our caring cancer support network is here to help you feel your best through treatment. We’ll help you navigate the changes you may experience with services that include help with hair loss, symptom management, pelvic floor therapy, support groups, and more.
Commitment to provide expert cancer care to the community: Virtua is dedicated to increasing health care accessibility in the most vulnerable areas in South Jersey, including offering free cervical cancer screenings through the NJCEED program.
Virtua GYN Oncologists
Virtua's GYN oncologists are highly skilled surgeons who diagnose and treat cervical, ovarian, uterine, and other GYN cancers.
As I researched vulvar cancer, I jotted a million questions on index cards and brought them to my first appointment, and they took the time to answer every single one. They say that knowledge gives you power. In my case, it also gave me the strength and confidence to get through my journey.

Cancer clinical trials
We’re constantly working to improve treatments through clinical trials. If you choose to participate in a trial, you may have access to a promising new therapy before it’s widely available. We lead studies on immunotherapy drugs that attack the cancer cells in your body. And we investigate medications that target specific genetic mutations associated with several cancers.
