Gynecologic cancer refers to a group of cancers that begin in a woman’s reproductive organs. Each of these cancers is unique with different causes, risk factors, and treatment options. Regardless of the type of gynecologic cancer, the earlier it is found, the greater the chances of being treated successfully. Therefore, understanding more about women's cancers, their risk factors, and symptoms can lower your chance for developing an advanced stage gynecologic cancer.
