What Is Gynecologic Cancer?
Gynecologic cancer includes any cancer that begins in a woman's reproductive organs, such as the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, or vulva. Each type has its own signs and treatment needs, but all require prompt attention from a skilled care team. At Premier Cancer Center in Clearwater, FL, Dr. Taghrid Altoos and Dr. Eric Brooks bring academic-level insight and a patient-first approach to gynecologic cancer care. Our physicians take the time to explain your diagnosis clearly, helping you make informed decisions in a setting that feels personal, not institutional.
How Is Gynecologic Cancer Treated?
Depending on the cancer type and stage, treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Our team specializes in delivering radiation therapy for gynecologic cancer using TrueBeam™ technology, a powerful system that allows for extremely precise treatment. This is especially important for cancers affecting the pelvic region, where protecting healthy organs and tissue is critical. Our radiation oncologists participate in ongoing clinical education and national conferences, bringing the latest techniques and academic insight into a supportive local setting.
What Are the Signs of Gynecologic Cancer?
Symptoms can vary, depending on the type of cancer, but it's important to pay attention to:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Pain during intercourse
- Bloating or pressure in the abdomen
- Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Don't wait to seek care if you're experiencing any of these symptoms. Our team is here to provide clarity, guidance, and next steps.

Dr. Altoos and the entire staff were wonderful. They made a difficult situation easier and less scary. They also were able to work around my schedule so I could get my treatments without upending my entire day. I would highly recommend this practice!
Dr. Altoos is a wonderful caring physician. She answers all questions and inquiries or concerns with ease and great explanations. She's a lovely kind woman. Thank you to all the staff and therapists that made my treatments twice a day not unpleasant experience .
