Gynecologic Oncology in Turkey ? Advanced Cancer Care for Women?s Health

Introduction

Gynecologic Oncology is a specialized branch of medicine dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers affecting the female reproductive system. This includes the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vulva, and vagina. These cancers are among the most common and serious health challenges for women worldwide, but with early detection and advanced treatments, outcomes can be significantly improved.

At SkyUp Health, we partner with Turkey?s leading gynecologic oncologists and internationally accredited hospitals equipped with the latest medical technologies. Our mission is to provide women with timely, effective, and compassionate care, supported by modern diagnostic tools, minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and personalized treatment plans.

Conditions Treated in Gynecologic Oncology

1. Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer

Uterine cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and often affects women in the post-menopausal stage.

• Risk Factors: High estrogen levels, obesity, diabetes, early menstruation (before age 12), not giving birth, and advanced age.
  
  
• Symptoms: Abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, weight loss, and loss of appetite.
  
  
• Treatment: Early-stage uterine cancer can be effectively treated with robotic hysterectomy or minimally invasive surgery. Advanced stages may require a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
  
  

2. Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is strongly linked to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is one of the leading causes of cancer in women worldwide.

• Prevention: HPV vaccination (recommended from age 12) is the most effective protection.
  
  
• Risk Factors: Smoking, weakened immune system, multiple pregnancies, and poor sexual health practices.
  
  
• Symptoms: Often silent in early stages; advanced stages may present with pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, or unusual discharge.
  
  
• Treatment: Turkey offers advanced options including LEEP procedures, cone biopsy, minimally invasive radical hysterectomy, and radiochemotherapy for advanced cases.
  
  

3. Ovarian Cancer

Known as the ?silent killer?, ovarian cancer is difficult to detect early due to vague symptoms.

• Symptoms: Abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion, changes in urination, loss of appetite, and unexpected weight loss.
  
  
• Risk Groups: Most common in women after menopause, but rare cases can occur in younger women.
  
  
• Treatment: Advanced laparoscopy, robotic-assisted tumor removal, and targeted chemotherapy are standard. Multidisciplinary teams collaborate to provide precision-based treatment.
  
  

4. Other Gynecologic Cancers Treated

• Vulvar Cancer ? rare, often linked to HPV, treated with surgery and reconstructive techniques.
  
  
• Vaginal Cancer ? treated with radiotherapy, surgery, or combined modalities.
  
  
• Fallopian Tube Cancer ? a rare but aggressive form requiring surgical resection and chemotherapy.
