Every lady must be aware of the signs of early cancer i.e. a painless breast lump, irregular periods or abnormal post-menopausal bleeding, detection of an ovarian mass or cyst on sonography or abnormal heaviness in the lower abdomen. Breast and gynaecological cancers must be treated by surgical oncologists with special training on oncology and an understanding of the biological basis of gynaecological cancers – not by general gynaecologists. Endometrial cancer, cervical cancer and radical surgery for ovarian cancer all are to be treated optimally by surgery.
Breast Cancer is fast becoming the leading cancer worldwide and Gynaecological cancers can often be asymptomatic leading to late detection. Treated optimally and early they are often curable. Breast conserving surgery with sentinel node biopsy and reconstructive surgery after mastectomy are the standard of care in oncology.

Since gynaecological cancers need extensive dissection in the retroperitoneum and often intestinal resections, surgical oncologists who do gastrointestinal cancer surgery are better suited to these surgeries than gynaecological oncologists.
Treatment of gynaecological cancers varies from minimally invasive laparoscopic to robotic surgery and maximally invasive radical surgery for ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancers.
