To make an appointment with a specialist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, please call
1-800-525-2225. You will be asked to provide the patient’s name, address, phone number, and date of birth. If there is a confirmed diagnosis, or if a doctor suspects ovarian cancer because of abnormal test results, you’ll be asked how the diagnosis was made (for example, biopsy, ultrasound, CT scan, etc.) You will also be asked about the patient’s insurance information.
For a woman just diagnosed with ovarian cancer, or suspected of having ovarian cancer, the first appointment will typically be with a gynecologic surgeon. This physician is one member of a multidisciplinary team that includes other specialists in medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and other medical professionals, who all specialize in gynecologic cancers.
At Memorial Sloan-Kettering, care is focused on the well-being of the whole patient, not just the cancer.
