Treatments

Gynaecological cancer treatment has been transformed over the past decade. Where suitable, robotic-assisted and laparoscopic approaches now allow precision oncological resection through incisions of less than a centimetre — shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. They are not right for every cancer: for most cervical cancers, open surgery remains the standard. Robotic surgery is performed at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital, Ahmedabad. HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy), once only available abroad, is now performed by Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel in Ahmedabad for advanced ovarian and peritoneal cancers.

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. The correct approach depends on cancer type, stage, histological subtype, patient fitness, and fertility priorities. Every patient is discussed in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) setting that includes gynaecological oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and radiology — ensuring the treatment plan is personalised, evidence-based, and aligned with current ESGO guidelines.
