Get to know Gynecologic Oncologist Dr. Eugene P. Toy, who serves patients in El Paso, Texas.

A board-certified gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Toy is affiliated with University Medical Center of El Paso. He conducts basic science research on the cancer-causing proteins of the human papillomavirus in addition to his clinical work with ovarian cancer.

University Medical Center of El Paso is the primary teaching institution for Texas Tech University’s four-year Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso. As such, it is the only academic healthcare setting in far West Texas and Southern New Mexico. That affiliation and the fact that it is El Paso’s only not-for-profit, community-owned hospital, help ensure that high-quality healthcare services are available to all, regardless of their ability to pay.

Academically, Dr. Toy is a graduate of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and completed his residency in obstetrics & gynecology at the University of Rochester in 1999. He then received his subspecialty fellowship training in gynecologic oncology at Yale University.

Following his training, the doctor attained board certification in gynecologic oncology and obstetrics and gynecology through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Gynecologic oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer. A gynecologic oncologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers that are located on a woman’s reproductive organs.
