Cancers; Oncology; Benign
Vulvar cancer: These are the rare type of cancers and this cancer affects the external genetalia. These cancers usually occur in the elderly women.
Vaginal cancer: This is the rarest form of cancer. It generally occurs at the age of 50 and the main cause of this cancer is the Human Papillomavirus infection.
Fallopian tube cancer: It is the rare form of cancer that affects the fallopian tube that connects the ovaries and uterus.
Gestational trophoblastic disease: This is term used for a group of pregnancy related tumors. These cancers are usually quite rare and are divided into 5 types they are one benign and four malignant. These usually gets started in the cells that become placenta during pregnancy. Benign tumors start in the cells that which surround the embryo called trophoblast. These benign tumors are curable and are treated with chemotherapy.
Primary peritoneal cancer: it is also the rarest form of cancer that occurs within the tissue that lines the women abdominal and reproductive organs
Uterine sarcoma: This cancer occurs in the muscle surrounding the uterus.
Surgery: The main goal of the cancer is to remove the much possible amount of the cancer. This mainly helps in the reduction of the pain and the recovery time.
Chemotherapy: During the sessions of chemotherapy the doctor determines the correct treatment for the stages of cancer. Before the prescription we need to discuss the problems and other comorbidities. The doctor clearly tells you all the possible side effects and the correct dosage.
Radiation therapy: This is chosen at the starting stages of the cancer. This technique uses the high dose of radiation beams to remove the tumour or shrink/eradicate it completely.
Targeted therapy: This treatment is same as the chemotherapy. These drugs target the effected site and slows down the growth of the tumour or stop the growth of the cancer. However, this therapy has few side effects,
Immunotherapy: In the therapy they use the immunotherapy drugs that helps in boosting the immune system to fight against the cancer.
The cancers can be treated but the deaths ae due to the poor cancer screening facilities and the lack of knowledge among women regarding the intimate hygiene. Due to these the cancers are being diagnosed at the advanced stages and are leading to their deaths. Treating the cancers at their early stages is the best possible solution.
