Ovarian cancer can occur anywhere in the ovaries, including in the lining (endometrial cells), inside the ovaries (germ cells) or in the connective tissues (stromal cells). Individuals who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer should seek treatment at a center that offers specialized care from experts with a high level of experience treating this particular cancer. Residents of Clearwater, Florida, who are in need of ovarian cancer treatment can find the services they require at Moffitt Cancer Center located nearby in Tampa. The highly skilled and experienced cancer experts in our gynecological clinic have contributed to high survival rates and an improved quality of life for our patients.

Moffitt’s gynecological clinic includes a multispecialty team that works together as a tumor board to provide the best possible care and treatment plans for our patients. This team includes gynecologic oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, medical oncologists, pathologists and other experts who give each patient’s case individual attention to create a highly tailored treatment plan.
