What You Should Know

Gynecological cancers are often called silent killers because many women are not diagnosed until the later stages of the disease when treatment is less effective. In many cases early symptoms are not distinct and no reliable early screening test exists.

Much misinformation exists about gynecological cancers. But knowledge is power. Read our Guide to Gynecological Cancers and learn what you need to know.

For each type of cancer, our Guide explains:

• What the cancer is and where it appears
• What screening is available
• What the common symptoms are
• What Stage I-IV means
• How it is treated and what likely outcomes are

If you have symptoms or concerns, always talk to your doctor about them.
