Community Memorial Gynecologic Oncology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic cancers including tumors of the ovary, uterus, vagina, vulva, and placenta. Cancer treatment often involves a combination of therapies and this practice offers consultation to determine the right treatment combination of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy. Surgical treatments encompass a full range of surgical techniques including minimally invasive, reconstructive, and fertility-sparing procedures.
Our state-of-the-art Infusion Center allows comfortable, dedicated infusion close to home. Our Center includes a team of expert oncology nurses and physicians dedicated to supporting patients through every step of their treatment journey. We can provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan as well as the infusion, or we can take an existing plan and do your infusion at our center.
Community Memorial has long been committed to supporting cancer patients and their families, from diagnosis to recovery. Our Cancer Resource Center offers services, support, and educational opportunities for cancer patients, their families and caregivers, and our community at large. We offer these services at no cost, in a welcoming, non-hospital environment. Many of our classes are now available virtually.
The support of other cancer patients and survivors can have a significant impact on the healing process. We host a variety of educational classes and support groups. These are safe, private spaces for learning, sharing stories, and processing the many emotions that come with cancer diagnosis and treatment. We have in-person and virtual groups.
