Several factors can increase the risk of developing gynecologic cancers.

Common risk factors include:

• Postmenopausal age
• Family history of ovarian, breast, or uterine cancer
• Obesity
• Smoking
• Diabetes and high blood pressure
• Infertility or not having children
• Early sexual activity or multiple partners

These factors increase risk but do not guarantee cancer.

Gynecologic cancers are diagnosed using clinical exams and imaging tests.

Diagnosis may include:

• Pelvic examination
• Ultrasound scan
• MRI or CT scan
• Hysteroscopy
• Blood tests (tumor markers)

These tests help detect abnormalities in the cervix, uterus, or ovaries and guide treatment planning.
