Most Common Types of Gynecologic Cancers

Endometrical/Uterine is the most common GYN cancer. The primary symptom of endometrical cancer is abnormal bleeding.
Ovarian cancer is the second most common GYN cancer. Since there are no effective screening tests, one must be aware of the earliest symptoms of ovarian cancer.
Cervical cancer has been steadily increasing in incidence with the increased prevalence of pap smear screening. We encourage you to get an annual pap smear.
