We provide diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for gynecological cancers as part of a multidisciplinary team.
The H.U.B Functional Unit of Gynecologic Oncology is a center of expertise in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. The Da Vinci® surgical robot is therefore the preferred approach for gynecologic cancers that can be treated using minimally invasive surgery, particularly endometrial cancer and certain cervical cancers.
The H.U.B is also accredited by ESGO (European Society for Gynaecological Oncology) for the surgical treatment of advanced ovarian cancer.
Finally, in collaboration with the AYA team, we care for young patients (under 35) affected by cancer. When possible, we offer fertility-sparing surgery as well as a fertility preservation program (see Fertility Clinic) before cancer treatment.
Research projects
Project 1
TUBA WISP II study: TUBectomy with delayed oophorectomy as Alternative for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in high-risk Women to assess the Safety of Prevention: a study offering women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation the possibility of undergoing risk-reducing surgery to prevent ovarian cancer while preserving the ovaries. The study was initiated by Radboudumc (Radboud University Medical Center) in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, in collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, USA.
Project 2
STIC-RISC study: The STIC-RISC Registration Study. International Registration of Isolated STIC: to Report and Investigate the Risk of Serous Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: an international registration study of isolated STIC lesions, aimed at reporting and investigating the risk of serous peritoneal carcinomatosis. The study was initiated by Radboudumc (Radboud University Medical Center) in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Project 3
PAROLA study: PARa-aOrtic LymphAdenectomy in locally advanced cervical cancer: an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III interventional clinical trial, in collaboration with CHU de Liège and the Institut Universitaire du Cancer de Toulouse – Oncopole.
