Gynecologic cancers are the most common type of cancer in women. This is the second most common malignancy in Indian women. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Most cancers form because of DNA changes that cause cells to grow out of control and crowd out normal cells. Cancer is the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Timely management of these cancers is crucial.
