The Gynecologic Cancer Department

About the Gynecology Oncology Department in Sheba

Sheba Medical Center has a consistent commitment to women’s health. In fact, it is one of our highest priorities. As such, we take a professional and integrative approach to gynecologic cancer treatment, providing world-class medicine with a personal touch. We achieve this goal by retaining top global gynecological cancer experts, performing constant research in the field of women’s cancer, and offering state of the art facilities for our patients afflicted with female urogenital cancers.

As part of our philosophy of tailor-made medicine, our physicians and staff in The Gynecologic Cancer Department work hand in hand with their colleagues in other departments – such as Surgery, Pathology, and Oncology – to deliver personalized treatment to each one of our patients. This is true for all of our patients, whether they are from Israel or abroad through our Global Patient Services Division.

Staff

We recognize that we cannot provide outstanding, complete care to our patients without outstanding staff. That is one reason why we have many of the top women’s healthcare providers in the world. Everyone at Sheba Medical Center, from our directors to our nursing staff, is absolutely dedicated to eradicating cancer and giving our patients the best possible care.
