Gynae-Oncology Research

The Gynae-Oncology Department provide care for women with all types and stages of gynaecological cancers. The studies we undertake explore a variety of research directions. These include collecting information regarding registries, tissue collection for biobank and translational research, exploring different clinical, surgical and oncology treatments, effects of conventional and non-conventional pain management, investigating the effects of exercise during chemotherapy and end of life care. We aim to continuously expand our understanding of gynaecological cancers with the research we conduct.
