Ovarian cancer affects about 22,000 women every year in the United States. At Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute, we know that no two cancers – and no two patients – are the same. We provide personalized, sophisticated care for women, every step of the way.
We offer the most rigorous, comprehensive treatment options in the region, which is vital to getting the best results. You’ll meet with your care team within three days of diagnosis. The physicians use surgery, cutting-edge chemotherapy, and biologic therapy, as well as comprehensive tumor profiling, to develop the most effective treatment plan for you.
At the AHN Cancer Institute, you can expect patient-centric, advanced care from a devoted oncology team. We review every aspect of your diagnosis and discuss your treatment options with you.
We develop a treatment plan that considers the stage of cancer, your health, and your personal preferences — and we implement it right away. We continue to meet regularly throughout your treatment to discuss the latest, best methods to beat the cancer.
We also cater to your emotional needs after diagnosis. Our approach to care includes many services to support you and your family:

Our oncology team has deep experience in screening for and diagnosing ovarian cancer. We offer the latest testing options, including genetic testing and molecular profiling of the tumor. We also offer the CA-125 test to look for a tumor marker that’s often elevated in the blood of women with ovarian cancer.
