Oncologic surgeries in gynecology are specifically focused on the treatment of cancers affecting the female genital tract and the breast. Within operative gynecology, both minimally invasive and open surgical techniques are used to provide patients with the best possible care. Univ. Prof. Dr. Arnim Bader works closely with specialists from other medical disciplines to ensure comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment. The Medical University of Graz plays a key role in advancing and coordinating these oncologic approaches.
The types of oncologic operations in gynecology are diverse and depend on the type and stage of the cancer. The most common procedures include surgeries on the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and vulva, as well as breast surgery. These procedures may be performed with curative intent—aiming to completely remove the cancer—or palliative intent, to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. In Graz, patients have access to a wide range of surgical options tailored to their individual diagnosis and needs. All necessary assessments and consultations are conducted within specialized outpatient clinics.
Interdisciplinary collaboration is fundamental in gynecologic oncology. Specialists in gynecology, oncology, surgery, radiotherapy, and pathology work closely together to create individualized treatment plans for each patient. A typical oncologic treatment strategy may combine surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, depending on the stage and location of the tumor. This team-based approach ensures that every patient receives personalized and comprehensive care.
Treatment options for cancers of the female reproductive system and breast are continuously evolving. Advancements in targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and precision surgery have significantly improved survival rates and patient outcomes. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the LKH-University Hospital Graz actively participates in clinical trials, providing patients access to cutting-edge therapies. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly integrated into oncologic care to minimize physical strain and shorten recovery times. Graz remains at the forefront of innovation in women’s cancer treatment.
Gynecologic oncology care in Graz combines both outpatient and inpatient treatment options, depending on the diagnosis, disease stage, and individual needs of the patient. Outpatient services include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and supportive care. More complex treatments—such as surgical procedures or radiotherapy—are typically carried out in a hospital setting. The Department of Gynecology and Women’s Health in Graz offers a comprehensive range of therapeutic solutions to ensure optimal, patient-centered care. Initial consultations and diagnostics are often performed in an outpatient setting, allowing for efficient and coordinated treatment planning.
