Background
Namita Khanna, MD, MSPH, is a gynecologic oncologist who sees patients at Emory Clinic. She specializes in gynecologic oncology, treating ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar and cervical cancers, as well as other gynecologic malignancies.
Dr. Khanna believes it’s vital that women have an opportunity to receive care from other women in specialties once dominated by males. She says a more diverse physician population makes it easier to meet the needs of diverse patient populations.
Dr. Khanna stresses the importance and value of screening tests, such as Pap smears and HPV tests, to all women. They are simple procedures that can find cancer early when it is most treatable. In some cases, the tests may even help prevent cancer from developing. If you are diagnosed with cancer, Dr. Khanna is proud to offer the highest level of cancer care through the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. The Center is one of just 72 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the U.S. It offers compassionate, coordinated care to women with all types of gynecologic cancer, including the latest clinical trials.
