A staggering fact can be found on the CDC’s website: In the US in 2008, 83,662 women were told that they had a gynecologic cancer. Education is imperative in awareness and diagnosis of these cancers.
There are five main gynecologic cancers (cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar). This symptom chart is great to have around- take a moment and read over it. Knowing your body and being aware of changes can lead to earlier detection.
