Gynaecological Cancer Diagnosis & Surgeries

Gynaecological cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect the female reproductive system, including the ovaries, uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and vulva. Some common types of gynaecological cancer include ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer.

Diagnosis of gynaecological cancer typically begins with a physical examination and a pelvic exam, during which the healthcare provider will check for any abnormal growths or changes in the reproductive organs. Additional diagnostic tests may include:
