Program Description:
The dedicated doctors and researchers of the Gynecologic Oncology Program at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey take a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of and research on malignancies of the female reproductive tract. This approach is based on an innovative, continuity of care model under which the oncologist who guides patients through the diagnostic process also performs surgery, directs the patient's chemotherapy treatments if any are needed, and stays with the patient through the entire course of his or her disease. This allows the gynecologic oncologists in the Program to better understand each individual patient’s disease. CINJ is one of just a few cancer centers nationwide to approach treatment in this manner.
Patients treated at CINJ have access to the latest clinical trials and treatment options available in gynecologic oncology. New treatment protocols for advanced ovarian cancer are now available at CINJ including Gynecologic Oncology Group protocols, as well as pharmaceutical sponsored studies of new drugs. CINJ is currently conducting several clinical trials specific to ovarian cancers and a longitudinal study that follows women at increased genetic risk for ovarian cancer.
In addition, researchers within the Program are studying ways to prevent gynecologic cancers. Physician-scientists are looking towards cervical cancer vaccine trials and the prevention of endometrial cancer in morbidly obese women.
Services offered by the Gynecologic Oncology Program include m edical oncology, surgical oncology, psychosocial services, genetic testing and counseling, and educational programs
