Ovarian Cancer Hospitals In London



London Gynae Cancer Care specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of women’s cancers, particularly cancers of the ovary or fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus (womb), vulva and vagina.



What is it?

The name ovarian cancer describes a number of different forms of cancer that arise in different tissues of the ovary. The most common form of ovarian cancer, accounting for more than nine out of ten cases, originates in the cells forming the outer lining of the ovary: this is known as epithelial ovarian cancer. Other, less common, types arise from the central structural tissue of the ovary (stromal tumours) or the eggs (germ cell tumours).

  

What are the risk factors?

Although the causes of ovarian cancer are not fully understood, we do know that a variety of risk factors are involved. About one fifth of cases each year are linked to major lifestyle and other risk factors, and thus are potentially preventable. Among non-lifestyle risk factors, perhaps the most important are older age and inherited (genetic) conditions.
How is ovarian cancer diagnosed?

Ovarian cancer is usually diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, blood tests and ultrasound scans.
The symptoms of ovarian cancer are vague, and are more usually caused by other conditions. Depending on the stage of the cancer, these may include:
·         pain in the abdomen (tummy)
·         a feeling of bloating or fullness in the abdomen
·         irregular periods, or bleeding from the vagina after the menopause
·         back pain
·         passing urine more often than usual
·         a feeling of fullness or loss of appetite
·         constipation
·         a swollen abdomen
·         pain during sex
·         nausea or sickness
·         severe tiredness
·         shortness of breath.

Ovarian cancer treatment?

London Gynae Cancer care is one of the best Ovarian Cancer Hospitals In London.
The treatment of ovarian cancer will depend on a number of factors, including how large the tumour is and whether it has spread to other organs, the type of cancer, and the patient’s general health and level of fitness. Advances in treatment over the last two decades have led to marked improvements in survival rates. Today, almost half of all women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in England and Wales will survive for 5 years or more, while more than a third will survive for 10 years or more.

London Gynae Cancer Care specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of women’s cancers, particularly cancers of the ovary or fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus (womb), vulva and vagina. What is Vaginal Cancer ? The term vaginal cancer describes cancers that arise in the vagina, the muscular passage running from the cervix to the vulva. Most vaginal cancers develop in the thin layer of cells lining the inside of the vagina, but more rarely cancer can develop in glands in the lining of the vagina. Almost half of all vaginal cancers (48%) occur in women over the age of 70, and the highest rates are seen in women aged 90 and over. How common is vaginal cancer? Vaginal cancer is a rare cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all new cancer cases in the UK. In 2014, there were 250 new cases diagnosed in the UK, and it is estimated that 1 in every 1270 women will be diagnosed with vaginal cancer during their lifetime. How is vaginal cancer diagnosed?
