Overview

Gynaecologic cancer encompasses cancers that originate in a woman's reproductive organs, including cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, and the rare fallopian tube cancer. While cervical cancer can be detected early through screening tests, other Gynaecologic cancers lack reliable screening methods, making it vital to recognize warning signs and adopt risk-reduction measures. Symptoms vary for each cancer type. Reducing the risk involves staying vigilant about warning signs and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Treatment approaches followed by a Gynaecologic Oncologist depends on the specific cancer type and its stage of progression. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies to maximize effectiveness in managing Gynaecologic cancers. Early detection and timely treatment significantly improve outcomes and quality of life.
