What are gynecologic cancers?

Gynecologic cancers are exclusive to the female genital tract. Although they can be difficult to treat once they have fully developed, they can be detected and managed with high success if discovered early. Receiving gynecologic cancer screenings should be included in your regular gynecology checkups.

Overview of gynecologic cancers:

  • Cervical cancerThe cervix is a narrow tube in the lower part of the uterus that connects the uterus to the birth canal. Gynecologists can detect precancerous cells before they advance to the tumor stage during a Pap smear. Precancer cells do not usually result in any symptoms, which is why it’s important to receive your regularly scheduled Pap smear.
  • Ovarian cancer There are several types of ovarian cancer, but all of them begin somewhere in the ovaries. This cancer can be difficult to detect. If you experience persistent bloating, pelvic pain, loss of appetite and the urge to urinate often, you should discuss these symptoms with your doctors as they could be signs of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is rarely diagnosed in the early stages, meaning it is important you bring up the issue with a medical professional if you notice the warning signs.
  • Endometrial cancer – This cancer forms in the lining of the uterus—the endometrium – and is sometimes referred to as uterine cancer. Endometria is relatively easy to catch in the early stages because one of its first symptoms is abnormal vaginal bleeding. If you have experienced unexpected bleeding between periods, you should ask your doctor for a cancer screening. You may have an increased risk of uterine cancer if you began menstruating before age 12, have never been pregnant or have a history of the disease in your family.

After assessing your risk factors and medical history, our knowledgeable gynecologists can tell you how often you should receive screenings for gynecological cancers. Early detection and intervention are key in the battle against all forms of cancer.
