Top New York City Gynecologist for Ovarian Cancer Screening: Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD

Top New York City Gynecologist Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD has been in private practice for over 25 years and treated many patients with ovarian masses. Ovarian cancer is the second most common genital tract malignancy and the most deadly (overall 5 year survival of 45%). Ovarian cancer is more prevalent with increasing age, usually occurring with post-menopausal women.

Dr. Goldstein uses non-invasive methods such as gynecologic ultrasounds for initial diagnosis instead of painful, costly, invasive biopsies. Non-invasive ultrasounds are performed right in his office in a short period of time. With these non-invasive ultrasounds, Dr Goldstein is able to view precise, clear, high quality images of ovarian masses for cancer screening. Using ultrasounds, pattern recognition and Doppler features of an ovarian mass are the most accurate method of differentiating a malignant from a benign tumor when performed by an expert practitioner like Dr Goldstein.

Dr. Goldstein uses color flow Doppler in ultrasounds which is very important to evaluate the presence or absence of prominent vessels within the solid areas of the tumor. The main goal of the ultrasound examination is to determine whether the mass is suspicious for malignancy (cancerous) or almost certainly benign (non-cancerous).

If you have been told that you have a mass in your ovaries, it is best to seek a second opinion before scheduling any surgery. Dr Goldstein, a Top New York City Gynecologist, is available for cancer screenings or second opinions before gynecologic surgery. You may contact Dr Goldstein at his New York office to schedule a consultation cancer screening for gynecologic conditions, or visit his website at www.goldsteinmd.com.
