Types of Gynaecologic Cancer
Gynaecological cancers develop in different areas within a woman’s reproductive organs.
Cervical Cancer: It sets in the cervix, which is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (neck of the womb).
Ovarian Cancer: It begins in the ovaries, which are situated on each side of the uterus.
Uterine Cancer: The uterus is the pear-shaped muscular bag that holds a baby when the woman is pregnant. Cancer starts in the lining of the uterus. It is also called uterine or endometrial cancer.
Vaginal Cancer: It begins in the vagina, the hollow, tube-like channel between the end of the uterus and the outside of the body.
Vulvar Cancer: It begins in the vulva, the outer region of the female genital organs.
Each type is distinct, with varied signs and symptoms, different risk factors and preventive measures. Generally, all women are at high risk of developing gynaecologic cancers and the risk elevates with age. However, when cancers are diagnosed at early stage, treatment is most effective.
Several modes of treatment are available for gynaecologic cancers, and it usually depends on the type of cancer and how far it has spread. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are some of the treatment options. Women with gynaecologic cancer mostly undergo more than one type of treatment.
