Did you know there are 5 primary gynecologic cancers?

Cervical • Ovarian • Uterine (Endometrial) • Vaginal • Vulvar

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

It’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 right—and a choice you’ll never regret.

Endometriosis and endometrial cancer sound similar — but they’re not the same.

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