Gynecologic cancers are cancers of a woman's reproductive organs.
These include cancer of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. These cancers account for 14 percent of the total female cancer incidence and 10 percent of female mortality in the state. Of the six gynecologic cancers, uterine cancer has the highest incidence at 42 percent and ovarian has the highest mortality at 54 percent. Incidence rates for cancer of the vulva, vagina, and fallopian tubes are very low. According to ACS, less than 450 women a year are diagnosed with one of these three cancers.
