Your Ovarian Cancer Specialists

A doctor talks to a woman about ovarian cancer

An ovarian cancer specialist at Moffitt Cancer Center can provide the individualized advice and guidance you need to make the best possible treatment decisions. The management of ovarian has been changing rapidly and the best chance for longer survival depends on the initial surgical expertise and the selection of the best medical treatment plan based on expert knowledge of genetics, histology, stage, and the tumor’s molecular features.

We treat many women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and we have acquired the highly refined skills and judgment necessary to most effectively treat this fairly uncommon condition. While we serve as consultants to many medical oncologists and even to other gynecologic oncologists, our specialists are most able to help a patient by providing their initial surgery and treatment plan.

Whether you are concerned about possible ovarian cancer symptoms, seeking a second opinion from an ovarian cancer specialist or gathering information about potential treatment options, Moffitt can help. We’re widely known and respected for providing world-class ovarian cancer treatment, and all our services are available within our cancer center.

At Moffitt, each ovarian cancer specialist in our Gynecologic Oncology Program is a member of a cohesive, multispecialty team of experts that includes:

Gynecologic oncologists
Medical oncologists
Radiation oncologists
Radiologists
Pathologists
Fertility preservation specialists
Plastic surgeons
Reproductive endocrinologists (fertility specialists)
Nurses
Social workers
Other supportive care providers

In addition to wide-ranging knowledge, Moffitt’s collaborative tumor board has access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. We also have a dedicated research team that is discovering and developing innovative therapies for ovarian cancer and other gynecologic cancers every single day. Taking a unique “bench-to-bedside” approach, these scientists work closely with our clinicians to ensure that our patients can benefit from our ovarian cancer research breakthroughs as quickly as possible. One example is our robust clinical trials program, through which we offer our patients access to the therapies at the leading edge of science. This means patients may be the first to receive such treatments before those options might be available in other settings.

Through efforts like these, Moffitt continues to gain ground toward one day finding a cure. In recognition of the progress we’ve made to date in understanding and treating all types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, the National Cancer Institute has designated Moffitt as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. At Moffitt, we are firmly committed to providing each patient with the best possible outcome and quality of life.
