The intent of this rotation is to help students gain experience in methods of treatment and diagnosis of patients with gynecologic cancer.

The students will participate in all aspects of diagnosis, problem solving, and treatment of patients with gynecologic cancer admitted to University-affiliated Gyn-Ob units.  They will be exposed to pelvic anatomy by scrubbing in radical pelvic surgery, and learn the principles of radiotherapy.  Experience with the use of chemotherapy in gynecologic cancer will also be gained.

Upon completion of this rotation, the students should know how to screen the general population for early detection of cancer.
