Understanding Gynecological Cancers
Gynecological cancers affect the female reproductive system — including the cervix, uterus (endometrium), ovaries, fallopian tubes, vulva, and vagina. Each type has unique risk factors, symptoms, and treatment approaches. At Jain Oncology, our team works closely with gynecologic oncologists to provide comprehensive surgical and medical management. We understand the sensitive nature of these cancers and provide care that addresses both medical needs and emotional well-being.
Diagnosis & Staging
Thorough evaluation using clinical examination, imaging, and tissue diagnosis is essential for accurate staging and treatment planning
Clinical & Pelvic Examination
Complete pelvic examination, Pap smear, HPV testing, and assessment of symptoms. Rectovaginal examination for advanced cervical or rectal involvement.
Biopsy & Histopathology
Colposcopy-directed biopsy (cervical), endometrial biopsy or D&C (uterine), ultrasound-guided biopsy or surgical staging (ovarian) to confirm diagnosis and determine cancer type.
Imaging & Staging
Transvaginal ultrasound, CT scan, MRI pelvis (especially for cervical and endometrial cancers), and PET-CT for advanced staging. MRI is critical for assessing depth of invasion.
Tumour Markers & Genetic Testing
CA-125 (ovarian), HE4, and genetic testing for BRCA1/BRCA2, Lynch syndrome (MMR genes) to guide treatment decisions and family screening.
Symptoms to Watch
Abnormal vaginal bleeding — postmenopausal, between periods, or after intercourse
Persistent pelvic pain, pressure, or cramping not related to menstruation
Bloating, abdominal swelling, or feeling full quickly (especially ovarian cancer)
Unusual vaginal discharge — watery, bloody, or foul-smelling
Changes in urination — urgency, frequency, or difficulty
Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or back pain
Risk Factors
HPV infection — primary cause of cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers (preventable with vaccination)
Age — ovarian and endometrial cancers are more common after menopause
BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations — significantly increase ovarian and breast cancer risk
Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) — increases endometrial and ovarian cancer risk
Obesity and metabolic syndrome — major risk factor for endometrial cancer
Nulliparity (never having been pregnant), early menstruation, late menopause, or prolonged HRT use
Treatment Approaches at Jain Oncology
Every treatment plan is tailored to your tumour biology, stage, and personal preferences.
Surgery
Removing the Cancer Safely
- Removal of the uterus and ovaries when needed for safety
- More extensive surgery for cervical cancer with lymph node checking
- Removal of as much cancer as possible in advanced ovarian cancer
- Fertility-sparing options for young women with early-stage cancer
- Modern techniques to reduce swelling and recovery time
💡 Complete removal of visible cancer is the most important factor for long-term outcomes. Our surgeons ensure the best surgical result for each patient.
Chemotherapy
Medicines to Fight Cancer
- Proven drug combinations tailored to your specific cancer type
- Given before surgery to shrink advanced ovarian tumours
- Combined with radiation for locally advanced cervical cancer
- Given after surgery to destroy any remaining cancer cells
- Regular monitoring to track how well treatment is working
💡 Chemotherapy timing is carefully planned — giving it before surgery can sometimes make difficult surgeries possible.
Radiation Therapy
Targeted Energy Treatment
- External radiation precisely targeting the affected area
- Internal radiation placed directly near the cancer for maximum effect
- Combined with chemotherapy for best results in cervical cancer
- Used after surgery to reduce the chance of cancer returning
- Helps control symptoms in advanced cases
💡 The combination of external and internal radiation is highly effective for cervical cancer, even in advanced stages.
Targeted Therapy
Precision Medicines for Your Cancer
- Drugs that block specific pathways cancer cells use to grow
- Maintenance medicines to help prevent cancer from returning
- Genetic testing identifies who will benefit the most
- Used for ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers
- Often combined with other treatments for better results
💡 Targeted medicines have greatly improved outcomes for ovarian cancer, especially for patients with certain genetic markers.
Immunotherapy
Boosting Your Body's Defence
- Helps your immune system recognise and attack cancer cells
- Now a standard part of treatment for advanced cervical cancer
- Special testing done to check if you're a good candidate
- Can be combined with chemotherapy for better results
- Showing promising results in uterine and ovarian cancers
💡 Adding immunotherapy to cervical cancer treatment has been a major breakthrough, significantly improving outcomes.
Fertility & Hormonal Support
Caring for Your Well-being
- Fertility options discussed before any treatment decisions are made
- Egg freezing coordinated with fertility specialists when needed
- Protection of ovaries during radiation when possible
- Hormone support guidance after menopause caused by treatment
- Intimate health counselling and support throughout recovery
💡 Every woman deserves to make informed choices about her fertility before treatment. We ensure all options are explored.
