Gynaecology cancer diagnostic and treatment services
Yeovil Hospital offers diagnostic services in the care of women with suspected cancer and treatment for low grade malignancy as specified in the South West network guidelines.
The team comprises two gynaecology consultants (Mrs Lydia Karamura and Mrs Krishna Murala), consultant radiologist, consultant histopathologist, a clinical nurse specialist and links with the gynaecology oncology team at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, for the planning of patient care.
The service offers diagnostic radiological investigations as well as clinical assessment to make diagnosis of cancer. The team meets regularly to review the findings for all new patients and links in with the Musgrove Park Multidisciplinary team.
Low grade cancer will be operated on locally by the in-house gynaecologists and high grade cancers or more complex cases will receive further treatment by specialists at Musgrove Park Hospital.
There are support services for women with previous diagnosis of cancer or undergoing treatment supported by our clinical nurse specialist.
In addition to clinical care, the unit works closely with the Yeovil Hospital research department to participate in national cancer research studies and trials to inform future cancer care.
