Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is cancer of the lower, narrow part of the uterus. The uterus, a hollow, pear-shaped organ, is located in a woman's lower abdomen between the bladder and rectum. The cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina, which leads to the outside of the body.
Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer is cancer of the lining of the uterus. The most common symptom of endometrial cancer is abnormal bleeding. This includes bleeding that occurs after you have gone through menopause. For women who are still having periods, an increase in menstrual flow, more frequent periods or bleeding between periods could all be signs of endometrial cancer and should be evaluated by a physician.
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer among women in the United States. It is one of the more difficult cancers to detect, because there is not a good screening test. Additionally, women usually do not have any symptoms until the cancer is large or has spread to other organs.
