Gynecological cancer refers to any cancer that arises in a woman’s reproductive system, which includes the cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. There are several types of gynecological cancers, and each type can have different causes, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies. When it comes to gynecological cancer treatment, a range of options, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy, are available to effectively combat the disease and improve patient outcomes.
The exact cause of gynaecological cancer is not fully understood, but certain factors may increase a woman’s risk of developing these cancers. These factors include
