Concerned about gynaecological cancer?

Although gynaecological cancers are uncommon, The London Clinic has the expertise to quickly diagnose them and provide a streamlined treatment pathway. We typically see ovarian, cervical and uterine (womb) cancers, with a strong focus on early detection and personalised care supported by advanced diagnostic technology. Symptoms can vary: ovarian cancer may cause bloating and pelvic pain, cervical cancer is often linked to HPV and may show no early signs, while uterine cancer is frequently indicated by abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Our team is committed to delivering the highest standard of care from diagnosis through to treatment and ongoing support. We also offer specialist services for BRCA patients who are at increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Private. Discreet. Calm.

Every week our urologists, radiologists and clinical nurses get together in a multi-disciplinary team meeting (MDT) to discuss imaging findings, the results of tests, and to decide the most coordinated responses for treatment.

Any patient cases that our team suspect may be related to cancer are fed through this group to allow for discussion and review.

By having these meetings weekly, as opposed to fortnightly, we can help our patients get started on their treatment sooner. Plus, this collaborative approach means you can feel safe and secure knowing every possible option is being discussed.

Advanced imaging technology

The London Clinic offers a state-of-the-art imaging and testing department providing patients and referring doctors access to a comprehensive range of investigations, covering conditions including endometriosis, fibroids, prolapse, cervical cancer and more.

Diagnosis of endometriosis involves advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound and MRI, combined with a laparoscopy procedure. These techniques help identify displaced endometrial tissue and support the creation of tailored treatment plans.

Various diagnostic methods, including colposcopy, hysteroscopy, and ultrasound, assist in identifying polyps. These non-cancerous growths in the lining of the uterus can cause symptoms, and early detection is key for appropriate management.

Diagnosis of prolapse involves a thorough examination and may include imaging studies like ultrasound. Identifying the extent and impact of prolapse is essential for determining the appropriate surgical or non-surgical interventions.

Non-invasive MRI provides detailed images of internal structures, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, polyps, and complex gynaecological issues.
