Early detection is crucial; warning signs include unexplained lumps, persistent abdominal bloating, abnormal bleeding or discharge, sudden weight loss, chronic fatigue, changes in bowel or bladder habits, and persistent pain.
Modern treatment plans are personalized, involving multidisciplinary teams of surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists.
Advanced surgical techniques highlighted: minimally invasive surgery (smaller incisions, less blood loss, quicker recovery), laparoscopic surgery for uterine, ovarian, cervical cancers, robotic‑assisted surgery for enhanced precision, and organ‑preserving surgeries to maintain function.
Dr. Naveen Padmanabhan, Consultant & Head of Surgical Oncology, states that increased awareness, timely diagnosis, and advanced treatments enable many women to overcome cancer and lead healthy lives.
