Gynecologic Oncology Treatments in Ames

Benefit from the latest technologies and treatment techniques for gynecologic cancer, including:

Chemotherapy to destroy cancerous cells throughout the body
Hormone therapy and immunotherapy to slow or stop cancer growth
Radiation therapy to shrink tumors and kill cancerous cells
Surgery to diagnose or remove cancerous tissue. When possible, your doctor will use robotic-assisted surgery for gynecologic cancers, which allows smaller incisions and shorter recovery times

Brachytherapy for Gynecologic Cancers

Your care plan may include brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy) to destroy cancer cells in or near the affected area. Your doctor places tiny radioactive "seeds" to precisely target gynecologic tumors, helping reduce side effects and potentially shorten treatment duration.
