State-of-the-art care for women’s cancers

The HUG Gynecology Division has state-of-the-art expertise for the treatment of women with breast cancer or a gynecological cancer, such as:

• ovarian cancer
• uterine cancer
• cervical cancer
• other gynecological cancers (vulva)

Once the diagnosis made, the team of the HUG Gynecologic Oncology Unit establishes a personalized care pathway adapted to your situation.

Whatever the care indicated for you, the Gynecologic Oncology Unit performs all tests on site and offers all care techniques currently available to treat cancers. 

The medical team can also help you join a research protocol. These protocols are important for advancing the knowledge of diseases and improving treatments. Collaborations with other healthcare structures may also be implemented on a case-by-case basis, depending on your health status.
