Therapy for Gynecologic Cancer
Prevention and early detection play a vital role in gynecological cancers. It is important to follow the HPV vaccination schedule, get regular screenings, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent gynecological cancers. Therapy options vary depending on the specific type, stage, and individual situation, but may include these.
- Hormone Therapy
