Cancer

Gynecologic cancers affect female reproductive organs and require specialized care. The Cancer Network of West Michigan is putting these services within reach, right in our community.

We are one of the only programs in the region whose team includes gynecologic cancer doctors (gynecologic oncologists). You also benefit from the combined expertise of cancer specialists from Mercy Health and University of Michigan Health-West. These capabilities are giving more women hope for healing.

What Is Gynecologic Cancer?

Gynecologic cancer includes many diseases of the female reproductive organs and occurs when abnormal cells multiply in a woman’s:

  • Uterus, as well as the endometrium or inner lining of the uterus
  • Cervix, the lower part of the uterus
  • Ovaries, glands that produce hormones as well as eggs 
  • Vagina, muscular canal connecting the cervix to an external opening
  • Vulva, external genitalia
