Gynecological cancers refer to cancers that occur in the reproductive organs of women, including the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vulva, and vagina. These types of cancer are relatively common and can cause significant morbidity and mortality if not detected and treated early. Risk factors for gynecological cancers may include age, family history, exposure to certain chemicals or drugs, and certain genetic mutations. Symptoms of gynecological cancers may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and changes in bowel or bladder habits.

Screening tests for these cancers may include Pap tests, HPV testing, and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA). Treatment options for gynecological cancers may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. It is important for women to be aware of the symptoms of gynecological cancers and to undergo regular screening as recommended by their healthcare provider.
