Gynecologic Oncologists

For the win, according to a new study out of UCI.

Also, when financial considerations come into play, private practitioners don't always do what's best for the patient (intraperitoneal chemotherapy is used less, in part, because it takes longer to administer without reimbursing any better than intravenous; although it's more complicated than that -- it's much more toxic and ridden with side effects).

If you or anyone you know is diagnosed with, or has signs/symptoms strongly suggestive of Ovarian CA, please please please go to a gynecologic oncologist, and preferably one at an academic center. Survival may depend on it.

And if it happens in seven years from now, please come see me.
