Gynaecological Cancer 

The appropriate treatment varies based on the specific location of the cancer. Identifying the cancer type is crucial for obtaining accurate information.

The five gynaecological cancers:

Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer emerges when abnormal cells in the cervix lining undergo uncontrolled growth. The cervix is a component of the female reproductive system.

Ovarian Cancer: Ovarian cancer results from abnormal cell growth in the ovaries, leading to the formation of tumours. Without early detection, cancer cells progressively infiltrate surrounding tissues and may expand to other parts of the body. Various types of ovarian cancer exist, determined by the originating cell type.

Womb Cancer: Womb cancer, also known as uterine or endometrial cancer, typically initiates in the womb lining (endometrium).

Vaginal Cancer: Vaginal cancer, a rare occurrence, starts in the vagina— the passage connecting the cervix to the vulva within the female reproductive system. This cancer is more prevalent among older women.

Vulval Cancer: Vulval cancer, or vulvar cancer, is a rare form that can originate in any part of the vulva, the region between a woman's legs encompassing external sex organs. Treatment depends on the size of the cancer and whether it has spread, with surgery being the most common approach.
