Moffitt’s multispecialty approach to uterine cancer treatment means that every patient can benefit from multiple expert opinions in a single location that is only a few hours away from Fort Myers, Florida.

Oftentimes, uterine cancer treatment involves a surgical procedure, such as a:

Hysterectomy — Removal of the uterus and cervix through the vagina or an incision in the abdomen
Radical hysterectomy — Removal of the uterus, cervix, a portion of the vagina and possibly the ovaries, fallopian tubes and some lymph nodes
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy – Removal of both ovaries and both fallopian tubes

When appropriate, Moffitt’s surgeons utilize the da Vinci® Surgical System, which is one of the latest evolutions of robot-assisted technology. This advanced tool facilitates a high level of surgical precision and control, allowing a surgeon to operate through a few small incisions, which can potentially minimize a uterine cancer patient’s recovery.

Moffitt also has a robust clinical trials program through which our patients can access promising new uterine cancer treatment options as soon as they become available. In recognition of our commitment to groundbreaking research, we have been named a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute, and we are the only cancer center based in Florida that has received this prestigious designation.
