Gynaecological Cancer
Cancers of the cervix, ovary and uterus. Cervical cancer — still the most common of the three in Uttar Pradesh — is close to fully preventable with screening and vaccination, and its early signs are ones no woman should be told to tolerate.
The short answer
Bleeding that is not normal for you — between periods, after intimacy, or after menopause — is the single most important warning sign in gynaecological cancer, and it is never something to be embarrassed about or to endure quietly. Post-menopausal bleeding in particular must always be investigated. The examination is simple; the cost of delay is not.
Symptoms worth acting on
- 01Bleeding after menopauseAny amount, even spotting, even once — always needs investigation
- 02Bleeding between periods or after intimacyA pattern change that persists across cycles
- 03Persistent foul or blood-stained dischargeNot responding to routine treatment
- 04Persistent bloating or abdominal swellingThe quiet sign of ovarian cancer — feeling full quickly, waistbands tightening
- 05Pelvic pain or pressurePersistent and unexplained
Cervical cancer can be prevented
Cervical cancer grows slowly from changes a screening test can catch years before cancer develops. A Pap smear or HPV test every few years, from the age of 30, prevents most cases outright — and the HPV vaccine given to girls before exposure prevents the infection that causes it. If the women in your family have never been screened, that single act is the most effective cancer intervention available to them. Screening is available at our OPDs and camps.
How gynaecological cancer is treated at CoreOnco
Early cervical and uterine cancers are treated surgically, increasingly by minimally invasive and robotic approaches with faster recovery; more advanced cervical disease is treated with chemoradiation. Ovarian cancer is treated with surgery aimed at removing all visible disease, paired with chemotherapy — the completeness of that first operation matters more to the outcome than almost anything else, which is why it belongs in a surgical oncologist's hands.
Fertility, hormones and life after treatment are discussed before surgery, not after — for younger women, fertility-sparing options exist for selected early tumours and are always raised where they safely apply.
What does gynaecological cancer treatment cost?
Privately, radical hysterectomy typically runs ₹1.2–2.5 lakh and ovarian debulking surgery ₹2–3 lakh, with six chemotherapy cycles where needed at ₹15,000–50,000 per cycle. Chemoradiation for cervical cancer is costed as a package with the radiotherapy centre and planned with you in advance.
For PM-JAY-eligible families, covered surgery, chemotherapy and admission are cashless — and cervical screening, the thing that prevents the costliest cases entirely, is free at our camps.
