Clinical Department of Oncological Gynecology

At the Clinical Department of Oncological Gynaecology at the Oncology Centre in Bydgoszcz, we conduct mainly surgical treatment of malignant neoplasms of female genital organs (ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulva and vaginal cancer). Good organization of our work allows us to admit patients diagnosed with cancer, on an ongoing basis.

Patient’s path in the Gynaecology Department:

1. Qualification for treatment – is conducted by the Interdisciplinary Committee. It consists of the following specialists: radiotherapist, clinical oncologist and oncological gynaecologist. The committee qualifies patients every Monday and Wednesday from 8.00 a.m. in room 137 at the Polyclinic. Registration for the committees is available on an ongoing basis at the phone number 52 374 30 00 or 52 374 31 10, additional information about the work of the interdisciplinary team is available at 52 374 33 94.
2. Development of a treatment regimen – during the committee, a combination treatment is planned. It is determined what the therapy will consist of in a given case, be it radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, or all of the above.
3. Hospitalization – patients qualified for surgical treatment are admitted on an ongoing basis to the Department of Oncological Gynaecology for surgery. Admission to the ward takes place at the nursing point, after completing the formalities in the admission room.
4. Patients with confirmed cancer (histopathological examination) or suspected ovarian cancer are qualified for surgery on an ongoing basis. Surgeries are performed within 7-10 days.
5. Surgical procedures – are performed daily from 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Surgeries are carried out by a multi-specialist team. It consists of a specialist gynaecologist/oncologist and an oncologist surgeon. After the surgery, patients spend the first day in a recovery room equipped with devices allowing for increased monitoring.
6. Treatment continuation – after the surgery in the Department of Oncological Gynaecology, the patient is transferred for further combination treatment: chemotherapy or radiotherapy to other units of the Oncology Centre in Bydgoszcz.
7. Postoperative care – is carried out as part by the outpatient clinic.
