Your Care Team at Columbia Cancer
Your care team may include:
- Gynecologic oncologists, who have advanced training to perform minimally invasive and traditional cancer surgeries and administer chemotherapy for women with gynecologic cancers.
- Radiation oncologists, who use the latest technology to deliver radiation treatments to precisely target and effectively destroy cancer cells, while minimizing toxicity to surrounding normal tissues.Â
- Imaging radiologists, who look for abnormalities in ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, and other visual screening tests.
- Pathologists, who examine tissue and fluid to look for changes in cells in order to classify a tumor’s stage and look for markers that will help your care team determine the best course of treatment for you.
- Medical oncologists, who direct treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
- Urogynecology surgeons, who have advanced training in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
- Nurses and nurse practitioners, who provide hands-on medical and supportive cancer care along your journey. Nurse navigators may also help you through specific processes, such as enrolling in a clinical trial.
- Genetic experts, who help you understand any genetic causes of your cancer and what they mean.
- Fertility experts, who help you make decisions and conduct about fertility sparing procedures if you’re concerned about having children after cancer treatment.
- Mental health experts, including our psychosocial oncology team, who help you and your family cope with the wide range of emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis.
- Social workers, who can help you find resources in the community and provide emotional support.
- Integrative health practitioners, including reiki, massage, acupuncture, yoga therapy, meditation, and more, to help you deal with the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of cancer treatment and survivorship.
- Nutritionists, to help you create and follow a plan that will support the healing your body must do during and after cancer treatment.
- Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, who help you regain function you might have lost due to surgery or treatment side effects.
