How to Access Gynecology & Gynecologic Oncology in Shanghai | CMCS

World-Class Gynecology & Gynecologic Oncology in Shanghai

Shanghai is home to some of China's most advanced gynecology and gynecologic oncology centers, offering international patients access to comprehensive women's health care — from minimally invasive gynecological surgery and fertility-sparing procedures to complex gynecologic cancer surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. The city's leading gynecology departments are affiliated with Shanghai's top academic medical universities and are equipped with the latest laparoscopic, robotic, and hysteroscopic surgical technology. Ruijin Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital, and the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital (IPMCH) are among Shanghai's premier centers for gynecology and gynecologic oncology, each offering subspecialty expertise in gynecologic cancer surgery, minimally invasive gynecology, and reproductive medicine.

What Gynecological Conditions Are Treated?

Shanghai's leading gynecology and gynecologic oncology centers offer comprehensive management of a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Cervical cancer — radical hysterectomy, fertility-sparing trachelectomy, concurrent chemoradiation, immunotherapy
  • Ovarian cancer — cytoreductive surgery (debulking), HIPEC, PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy (olaparib, niraparib)
  • Endometrial (uterine) cancer — laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy, sentinel lymph node mapping, immunotherapy for MSI-H cases
  • Vulvar and vaginal cancer — surgical management and reconstruction
  • Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) — molar pregnancy, choriocarcinoma
  • Uterine fibroids — laparoscopic myomectomy, hysteroscopic resection, uterine artery embolization
  • Endometriosis — laparoscopic excision, including deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)
  • Ovarian cysts and benign ovarian tumors — laparoscopic cystectomy
  • Pelvic organ prolapse — laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and pelvic floor reconstruction
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding — hysteroscopic evaluation and treatment
  • Fertility preservation for cancer patients — oocyte and embryo cryopreservation

Why International Patients Choose Shanghai for Gynecologic Care

International patients choose Shanghai for gynecology and gynecologic oncology care because of the combination of world-class surgical expertise, access to the latest minimally invasive and robotic surgical platforms, and significantly lower costs compared to equivalent care in Western countries. For patients with ovarian cancer requiring complex cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, Shanghai's gynecologic oncology teams offer a level of surgical expertise and perioperative care that rivals the world's top cancer centers. For patients with cervical cancer who want fertility-sparing surgery — including radical trachelectomy — Shanghai's subspecialty gynecologic oncologists offer this technically demanding procedure with excellent oncological and reproductive outcomes. For patients with endometriosis causing infertility or chronic pain, the minimally invasive gynecology teams at Shanghai's leading centers offer comprehensive laparoscopic excision with a focus on fertility preservation. The close collaboration between gynecologic oncology and breast oncology — including Dr. Shen Kunwei's Breast Surgery team at Ruijin Hospital — ensures patients with BRCA mutations or hereditary cancer syndromes receive fully integrated genetic counseling and risk-reduction care.
