Highlights
Meet Marilyn Huang, MD
Hi. My name is Marilyn Huang. I'm a GYN oncologist. As a GYN oncologist, I perform both the surgery, as well as the medical management of the cancer patient. The type of patients that I see are women diagnosed with ovarian cancer, endometrial or uterine cancers, cervical cancer, vulvar vaginal cancers and gestational trophoblastic disease. I am passionate about delivering comprehensive care for each individual patient by evaluating their mental health, physical, and social needs, in addition to their actual cancer treatments. Communication between myself and the patient is the single most important thing in providing care. We can't do it without a clear understanding of expectations and needs from each other.
