Dr. Vicki Holmes’ presentation will focus on
the role of the General Practitioner in encouraging women to report symptoms,
interpretation symptoms, the use of appropriate diagnostic tests and
examinations of women of all ages, proper referral to specialists and support
during and post treatment. Although the patient’s primary physician at
the hospital is likely to be her gynecologic oncologist, the family doctor
still plays a key role in the patient’s care and treatment for pre diagnosis to
post treatment. New thoughts and methodologies for medical care, testing,
diagnosis and treatment have required today’s doctors to be more involved and
aware of symptoms for young girls to senior citizens.
