What is Gynae-oncology?
Gynae-oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that affect the female reproductive system. This includes cancers of the ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva. Gynecologic oncologists are medical doctors who have completed additional training in obstetrics and gynecology followed by a fellowship in gynecologic oncology.

Gynae-oncology can affect various parts of the female reproductive system, leading to different types of cancer. Here are the primary types of gynecologic cancers:
Ovarian Cancer: This type of cancer begins in the ovaries, which are the organs responsible for producing eggs and female hormones.
Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer:
Uterine cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, starts in the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). It is the most common type of gynecologic cancer.
Cervical Cancer:
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Vaginal Cancer:
Vaginal cancer originates in the cells lining the vagina, the birth canal connecting the uterus to the external genitalia.
Vulvar Cancer:
Vulvar cancer occurs on the outer surface area of the female genitalia (vulva), which includes the inner and outer lips of the vagina, the clitoris, and the vaginal opening.
