A Team Approach to Gynecologic Cancer Treatment
Treatment for gynecologic cancers usually includes surgery followed by at least one other therapy to ensure all of the cancer cells are gone. The right treatments for each patient depend on the type and stage of cancer. Radiation therapy may be used after surgery as well as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy.
Compass Oncology uses the most advanced treatment technologies and minimally invasive surgery techniques, and we provide access to clinical research trials. With locations in Happy Valley, Portland, and Tigard, Oregon, as well as Vancouver, Washington, we provide comprehensive care with a patient-centered approach to make sure you feel supported, informed, and confident throughout your care.
