Types of Gynecologic Cancer
- Ovarian Cancer: Affects the ovaries and is often diagnosed at a later stage.
- Uterine Cancer: Begins in the uterus, commonly presenting as abnormal bleeding.
- Cervical Cancer: Linked to HPV, regular screenings can aid in prevention.
- Vulvar Cancer: An uncommon type, often associated with itching and irritation.
