Gynecological Cancer Care
Gynecological cancers—including ovarian, uterine (endometrial), cervical, vulvar, and vaginal cancers—affect thousands of women every year, yet many can be effectively treated when detected early and managed with expertise.
​
Dr Shravan Nadkarni brings deep clinical experience in surgical oncology, with a special focus on robotic and minimally invasive approaches for gynecological cancers. Collaborating with expert gynecologic oncologists and using state-of-the-art techniques, his goal is to offer women the best chance at recovery while preserving quality of life.
Fact Check: Dispelling Misconceptions
-
MYTH: Cervical cancer only occurs in older women.
FACT: Cervical cancer can affect women as early as their 20s or 30s, especially without HPV vaccination or regular screening. -
MYTH: All gynecological cancers are hereditary.
FACT: While BRCA mutations and Lynch syndrome increase risk, most cases are sporadic and preventable through screening.
Lesser-Known Facts: Unveiling the Intriguing Aspects
Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage due to vague symptoms like bloating and fatigue. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, thanks to HPV vaccination and regular Pap smears.
Robotic surgery is increasingly becoming the standard of care for endometrial and early-stage ovarian cancers, offering faster recovery and less blood loss.
What Every Woman Should Know
-
Early signs of gynecological cancer may include abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, or urinary symptoms.
-
Regular screenings, including Pap smears and HPV tests, are critical.
-
Awareness of family history and genetic counseling can guide early interventions.
-
Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco, and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce risk.
Treatment Options at a Glance
1. Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr Shravan offers robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries, minimizing incisions and helping women get back to their routines sooner with less pain and faster healing.

Used alone or in combination, especially for advanced or high-grade tumors. Treatment is planned in collaboration with experienced medical and radiation oncologists.
3. Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy
For cancers like HER2-positive endometrial cancer or BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer, newer drugs like PARP inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies are delivering breakthrough results.
4. Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Review
Each case is discussed in a joint tumor board involving gynecologic oncologists, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and support staff, to formulate a personalized and optimal treatment path.
A Note of Positivity
Gynecological cancers are no longer a silent battle. With modern advances, personalized treatments, and early detection, thousands of women are reclaiming their health and confidence.
