Continuum Cancer Centers
of New York want you to know that you do not have to face cancer alone.
The following is a list of resources at our institutions and elsewhere
designed for women with gynecologic cancer.
Each of our institutions has oncology nurses to help act as liaisons between
the patient and her physician, guide women to resources and support services,
and answer questions. For information about services for cancers of the
cervix, uterus or ovary, contact the appropriate gynecologic oncology
nurse.
