Gynaecological Cancer
What is Gynaecological Cancer?
Gynaecological cancer is the type of cancer that develops in the reproductive system of females including the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vagina and vulva. These types of cancer are multi-pathophysiological and develop due to genetic mutations, hormonal imbalances, infections like HPV, or lifestyle factors. While others may grow slowly, they can be aggressive, making early detection important for successful treatment.
