Chandapure Sindhura

Gynecologic cancer is initiated in female reproductive organs at different locations within woman’s pelvis. Based on the location and the type of tissue where cancer develops, gynaecological cancers are of various types such as Womb cancer that occurs in the endometrium (womb lining), while Ovarian cancer occurs in ovaries however many ovarian cancers begin in Fallopian tubes. Cancerous ovarian tumours usually develop from three majors types of ovarian cells which are surface epithelial cells, stromal and Germ cells. During the initial stage cells in the ovary start to change and grow abnormally and at later stages the cancer spread to the abdomen and pelvis (peritoneal cavity).
