What Are Gynecologic Cancers?

Cervical Cancer – Cancer in the cervix, often linked to HPV infection.
Ovarian Cancer – Cancer affecting the ovaries, sometimes detected late due to vague symptoms.
Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer – Cancer in the lining of the uterus.
Vaginal Cancer – Rare cancer occurring in the vaginal tissue.
Vulvar Cancer – Cancer on the external female genital area.
