We are just over half-way through Gynecologic Cancer and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Still plenty of time to share information with important women in your life. CDC - What Are the Symptoms of Gynecologic Cancers? cdc.gov/cancer/gynecologic/b… #gyncsm #womenshealth
A chart lists off eight gynecologic cancer symptoms and which type of cancer they are associated with. Common symptoms of gyn cancers: Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge is common on all gynecologic cancers except vulvar cancer. Feeling full too quickly or difficulty eating, bloating, and abdominal or back pain are common only for ovarian cancer. Pelvic pain or pressure is common for ovarian and uterine cancers. More frequent or urgent need to urinate and/or constipation are common for ovarian and vaginal cancers. Itching, burning, pain, or tenderness of the vulva, and changes in vulva color or skin, such as a rash, sores, or warts, are found only in vulvar cancer.

It is not enough to offer broad access to genetic testing, we have to be able to equitably act on the results in a knowledgeable, guideline-driven way to maximize patient safety & outcome. #ASCO22 #Genetics

We join President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden in calling for more screenings and early detection efforts. As underscored by the President’s Cancer Panel, genetic counselors play a key role in expanding cancer screenings and doing so equitably.
