What is Gynecologic Cancer?

Gynecologic cancer refers to a group of cancers that begin in a woman’s reproductive organs. These cancers include cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial or uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Each of these cancers is unique with different causes, risk factors, and treatment options. However, across all of the gynecologic cancers, treatment is most effective when the cancer is found early.  Therefore, understanding more about women's cancers, their risk factors and symptoms can lower your chance for developing an advanced stage gynecologic cancer.

Genetics and Gynecologic Cancers

Genetic testing is available at our cancer treatment centers throughout Arizona to help patients and their families determine if there is a hereditary link to a gynecologic cancer, like ovarian cancer. This not only helps determine the right ovarian cancer treatment options for the ovarian cancer patient but can also help family members make more informed decisions for their own health and decide if they need to be tested for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and other cancer-related syndromes.
