What Is Gynecologic Cancer?
Gynecologic Cancer is any cancer that starts in a woman’s reproductive organs. Five main types of cancer affect a woman’s reproductive organs that are cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulvar.

The five gynecologic cancers begin in different places within a woman’s pelvis, which is the area below the stomach and in between the hip bones.
