Cancer
Who is our gynaecological cancer service for?
This service is led by Mr Thomas Ind, and is for people at different stages of care seeking specialist guidance and time to discuss their concerns.
You may find this support helpful if you’re:
- Being investigated for possible gynaecological cancer, including abnormal scans, biopsy results or symptoms requiring specialist assessment
- Newly diagnosed and want help understanding your diagnosis and which treatment options may be appropriate for you
- Seeking a second opinion from a consultant gynaecological oncologist, particularly if your case is complex or you’ve had previous surgery or treatment
- Considering treatment options, including whether surgery may be recommended and which approach could be suitable for you
- Looking for post-treatment follow-up or advice about ongoing care after cancer treatment
If you’re not yet sure which type of gynaecological cancer you may have, our gynaecological cancer service is still the right place to start. Mr Ind works with you to guide investigations and discuss next steps based on your individual case.
We provide specialist care for women with suspected or confirmed gynaecological cancer, focusing on personalised assessment and thoughtful planning.
Support may include:
- Reviewing symptoms and test results to help you understand results and next steps
- Coordinating further investigations where needed, including imaging or biopsies
- Providing second opinions on imaging or histology, particularly in complex or uncertain cases
- Planning treatment and performing surgery, including minimally invasive or robotic surgery when appropriate
- Working within multidisciplinary care pathways, liaising with other specialists when required
- Offering post-treatment follow-up and recovery planning, including ongoing surveillance
Mr Ind has extensive experience in complex gynaecological cancer cases, including women who have had previous surgery, co-existing conditions or challenging treatment decisions.
Care is delivered by an attentive, experienced team that makes space for questions and ensures you stay involved as care progresses.
How we can help
Minimally invasive and robotic surgery with Mr Thomas Ind
Mr Ind has experience in minimally invasive and robotic gynaecological surgery, which may be suitable for some women as part of their cancer care. These techniques use smaller incisions, which can result in smaller scars and quicker recovery.
Robotic surgery is a form of keyhole surgery using specialised instruments controlled by the surgeon. It may offer greater precision in more complex situations.
These approaches aren’t appropriate for everyone. Any decision about surgery is made carefully, taking into account your diagnosis, previous surgery and overall health, and is always discussed with you in full before treatment.
Why choose Mr Thomas Ind for your gynaecological cancer care?
Choosing who to see when cancer is suspected or confirmed is a very personal decision. Many people want time with someone who listens and considers the wider context of their health.
Mr Ind is a consultant gynaecological oncology surgeon who supports women with gynaecological cancers through assessment, treatment planning and follow-up.
His work includes providing second opinions and managing complex cases, such as coordinating care for people with previous surgery or co-existing conditions.
He works closely with specialist cancer teams at The Royal Marsden, following established care pathways. Consultations allow time for thoughtful discussion of treatment options, such as minimally invasive or robotic surgery.
If you’d like guidance on next steps, reassurance about your diagnosis or a second opinion, a consultation can help.
Gynaecological cancers we treat
We offer support and treatment for all main types of gynaecological cancer. Some people arrive already knowing their diagnosis, while others are still waiting for answers or trying to understand what their results might indicate.
Ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer can be difficult to recognise, and many people come to us unsure about symptoms or test results. A specialist appointment provides time to review your results and consider whether further investigations may be needed.
Cervical cancer
Worry often starts with an unexpected screening or biopsy result. A specialist review can help you understand what your results mean and discuss any next steps for your situation in a calm, supportive setting.
Uterine cancer
Changes such as unexpected bleeding can be concerning. Care begins with careful assessment and thorough explanations of available support or treatment.
Vulva cancer
Vulval symptoms can be uncomfortable and sometimes difficult to talk about. Many causes aren’t cancer, but a specialist review can help provide clarity and outline tailored care if treatment is needed.
