Did you know there are 5 primary gynecologic cancers?

Cervical โ€ข Ovarian โ€ข Uterine (Endometrial) โ€ข Vaginal โ€ข Vulvar

Knowing the differences helps us spot risks, find better treatments, and advocate for the care that all women deserve.

Itโ€™s Uterine Cancer Awareness Month. Talk to your loved ones about family health history. Be open with your gynecologist. You deserve care that listens and sees you. Self-advocacy is your rightโ€”and a choice youโ€™ll never regret.

Endometriosis and endometrial cancer sound similar โ€” but theyโ€™re not the same.

While both affect the uterus, they have different causes, risks, and treatments. And unlike endometriosis, endometrial cancer can be deadly.
