A leader in minimally invasive surgical techniques
Our gynecologic oncology experts have a variety of different treatment options, depending on what might be most beneficial for your specific cancer, and we’ll always make sure to use the most minimally invasive technique. The OSUCCC – James has been a pioneer in robotic-assisted surgeries, which are less invasive and typically require less recovery time.

Fertility preservation and other support programs
When we say our care is multidisciplinary, we mean our treatments and specialization go beyond surgery and chemotherapy — we care about your quality of life during and after treatment. We understand that fertility preservation, which can give you the chance of having a biological child following cancer, is important for some people with gynecologic cancers, so we offer expertise in this area.
We also offer many other support programs, such as parenting with cancer, nutrition services and oncology rehabilitation, to help you be successful throughout treatment and survivorship.
