Family Health Services (LoveSafely.com) can screen you for gynecologic cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2023, more than 106,000 women in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with a gynecological cancer, and more than 32,000 will die from one. Gynecologic cancers encompass all cancers of the female reproductive system, including the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vagina and vulva.
All women are at risk for these cancers and risk increases with age. Each gynecological cancer has different signs and symptoms, as well as different risk factors. Remember to talk to your doctor if anything seems off or unusual.
