Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breast and is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, though it can also occur in men. Survival rates have improved over time due to earlier detection, personalized treatment approaches, and better understanding of the disease. Common symptoms include:
Ovarian cancer is a growth of cells that forms in the ovaries. The cells multiply quickly and can invade and destroy healthy tissue; because early symptoms are mild, it is usually detected at a late stage. Common symptoms include abdominal fullness, bloating, and abdominal pain.
Uterine cancer includes endometrial cancer (the more common type) and uterine sarcoma. A key symptom is bleeding between periods or after menopause. Treatment often involves a hysterectomy along with oncology-directed therapy where indicated.
Cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus connecting to the vagina. Certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) play a role in causing most cervical cancers. Regular screening and HPV vaccination help reduce the risk.
