Our Approach

We are committed to providing a comprehensive approach to treating reproductive cancers. Our multidisciplinary team is composed of physicians, scientists, nurses, genetic counselors, geneticists, and other medical staff.

The Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Program was established in order to identify:

• Screening tests that are the most appropriate for detecting early ovarian cancer
• The frequency with which these tests should be employed
• How frequently these tests are normally performed

We offer the following specialized services for women:

• Risk assessments, including genetic counseling and physical examinations
• The latest surgical interventions and postoperative treatment
• New diagnostic imaging and ultrasound technologies
• Opportunities for women with normal physical and ultrasound examination results and also for women with ovarian cancer to participate in approved clinical trials to develop new treatments

Our approach to ovarian and other gynecological cancers is rooted in a program called Discovery to Cure, a broad initiative launched by Yale to combat all reproductive cancers. The program combines the cutting-edge research we do in the lab with a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care and the latest early detection methods.
