Whether you or someone you love has a diagnosis, or you want to know how to prevent gynae cancers and spot the signs early, learning more is an important step.

Learn about the 5 types of gynae cancer

Reminder: Don't miss your cervical screening

Women aged between 25 and 64, and people with a cervix, should be invited to have regular cervical cancer screenings. It’s important that you attend. Early diagnosis saves lives.

This year, there have been updates on how and when you will be invited to your screening, so we’ve put together everything you need to know in a handy guide.

Our research: Advancing diagnosis, treatment and prevention of gynae cancers

Prevention, early detection and identifying effective treatments saves lives. Our researchers are at the forefront of developing tests, understanding risk factors for women developing gynae cancers, and finding ways to ensure the right treatments are used at the right time.

Preventing womb cancer: new tools offer hope

Seven women die each day from womb cancer, and cases are on the rise. Wellbeing of Women researcher and NIHR Clinical Lecturer, Dr Sarah Kitson is thinking big to help women at risk of womb cancer.

Using health information from the UK Biobank, Dr Kitson analysed the genetic and health information of over 220,000 women, to examine the relationship between a woman's health history and womb cancer. She has now created a way to identify which women are more likely to get womb cancer in the next 10 years. If used widely by GPs, this new tool could cut the number of women receiving late-stage - or even preventable - diagnoses by up to 60%, which could save thousands of lives.

Did you know?

Our research helped pave the way to significant advancements in the prevention of cervical cancer.

We funded one of the first pieces of research to confirm the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer, a link that ultimately led to the screening programme and HPV vaccine which has seen a 63% decrease in cervical cancers.
