Gynecological Cancer
You might already know that there are several types of cancer that can affect a woman’s reproductive organs. Together, they are known as gynecologic cancer.
Truth be told, there’s no simple way to test for this type of cancer if you don’t show any signs or symptoms. That’s why it’s important to:
- Have regular Pap tests that can detect cervical cancer early on, as well as cervical cell changes that could become cancer if not treated.
- Know about the cancers in general.
- Recognize warning signs.
- Talk with your primary care physician to learn what you can do to reduce your risk.
- Occasional diagnostic surgery to detect gynecologic cancer
Our gynecologists work collaboratively with other Stamford Health physicians specializing in urogynecology, gynecologic oncology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and reproductive endocrinology to provide the best, most comprehensive care.
