Gynecologic cancers are cancers that begin in the female reproductive organs: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulvar. Every gynecologic cancer has different signs, symptoms and risk factors. Every woman can develop a gynecologic cancer, and aging increases that risk. Finding these cancers early is the key to treating them successfully.

If you are diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer, it is very important that you consult a gynecologic oncologist, a doctor specifically trained to care for cancer of the female reproductive organs. These doctors are trained in the newest and most effective treatments, and their treatment results in a significantly higher cure rate.
