Gynecologic Cancers
At New York Oncology Hematology, our providers are experts in treating patients diagnosed with a gynecologic malignancy using sophisticated surgical techniques and technologies, leading-edge radiation technologies and the latest in chemotherapy treatments and targeted therapies.
Common Types of Gynecologic Cancers
Gynecologic cancer refers to a group of cancers that begin in a woman's reproductive organs.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian epithelial cancer begins in the tissue that covers the ovaries, which are the reproductive glands that produce eggs (ova).
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a type of gynecologic cancer that begins developing in a woman's cervix, which is the lower, narrow part of the uterus.
Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer or uterine cancer is a gynecologic cancer that forms in the tissue lining the uterus (the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman’s pelvis in which a fetus develops).
Each of these cancers is unique with different causes, risk factors, and treatment options.
However, across all of the gynecologic cancers, treatment is most effective when the cancer is found early.
Therefore, understanding more about women's cancers, their risk factors, and their symptoms can lower your chance of developing an advanced stage gynecologic cancer.
