Ovarian Cancer with Dr. Mirhashemi

Elena Season 1 Episode 2

Ovarian cancer is a scary diagnosis and thank goodness it is not that common.  It is scary because usually by the time we make the diagnosis, the disease is already advanced.  It is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States and it is the most common cause of gynecologic death in the US. Ovarian cancer can sneak up on you.  Symptoms are non-specific but they can include: abdominal pain or distention, nausea, early satiety, shortness of breath or dysfunctional bleeding.  

I have the honor of introducing our guest, Dr. Ramin Mirhashemi, a gynecology oncologist practicing in Torrance, California.  Dr. Mirhashemi has dedicated his life to the treatment of female cancers and is by far one of the most sought after surgeons.  He was my professor at Harbor UCLA and I feel very honored to continue to work with him now.  If you need a gynecology oncology consultation you can reach Dr. Mirhashemi at www.gynla.com or 310-375-8446.
