At Moffitt, we understand that each woman is unique, which is why we take an individualized, multispecialty approach to cancer treatment. Our tumor board of cancer specialists meets weekly to discuss each patient’s case and monitor her progress on an ongoing basis. These talented professionals evaluate key factors, such as the size, extent and location of a tumor, and refine the patient’s treatment plan as needed. Members include a wide range of experts, including gynecologic oncologists, plastic surgeons, dietitians, radiologists, pathologists and supportive care providers. Through this approach, our patients benefit from multiple expert opinions without the need for referrals.

Lymph node dissection – Removal of the lymph nodes in the pelvic and para-aortic areas
Omentectomy – Removal of the fat pad that covers the large intestine and stomach
Unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy – Removal of one or both of the ovaries and fallopian tubes
