Early Detection is Your Best Chance for Successful Treatment *

Detection

Gynecologic cancers start in a woman’s reproductive organs. They include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancers. Each has different symptoms. It is important to pay attention to what is normal for your body.

If you have any of these symptoms for two weeks or longer, or if you have bleeding that is not normal for you, see your health care provider. The earlier these cancers are detected, the better your chance for successful treatment.
