Cervical cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the cervix.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major risk factor for cervical cancer.
There are usually no signs or symptoms of early cervical cancer but it can be detected early with regular check-ups.
Signs and symptoms of cervical cancer include vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain.
Tests that examine the cervix are used to diagnose cervical cancer.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Endometrial cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the endometrium.
Obesity and having metabolic syndrome may increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
Taking tamoxifen for breast cancer or taking estrogen alone (without progesterone) can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
Signs and symptoms of endometrial cancer include unusual vaginal bleeding or pain in the pelvis.
Tests that examine the endometrium are used to diagnose endometrial cancer.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer are diseases in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissue covering the ovary or lining the fallopian tube or peritoneum.
Ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer form in the same type of tissue and are treated the same way.
Women who have a family history of ovarian cancer are at an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Some ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations (changes).
Women with an increased risk of ovarian cancer may consider surgery to lessen the risk.
Signs and symptoms of ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer include pain or swelling in the abdomen.
Tests that examine the ovaries and pelvic area are used to diagnose and stage ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer.
Certain factors affect treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery).

Urethral cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the urethra.
There are different types of urethral cancer that begin in cells that line the urethra.
A history of bladder cancer can affect the risk of urethral cancer.
Signs of urethral cancer include bleeding or trouble with urination.
Tests that examine the urethra and bladder are used to diagnose urethral cancer.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Uterine sarcoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the muscles of the uterus or other tissues that support the uterus.
Past treatment with radiation therapy to the pelvis can increase the risk of uterine sarcoma.
Signs of uterine sarcoma include abnormal bleeding.
Tests that examine the uterus are used to diagnose uterine sarcoma.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Vaginal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the vagina.
Older age and having an HPV infection are risk factors for vaginal cancer.
Signs and symptoms of vaginal cancer include pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Tests that examine the vagina and other organs in the pelvis are used to diagnose vaginal cancer.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.

Vulvar cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the vulva.
Having vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia or HPV infection can increase the risk of vulvar cancer.
Signs of vulvar cancer include bleeding or itching in the vulvar area.
Tests that examine the vulva are used to diagnose vulvar cancer.
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
