What is Cancer ?
Cancer occurs when cells in the body grow out of control and are named for the part of the body where they start. (MerksManual, 2010).
Cancer of the female reproductive system are also called gynaecological cancers.
Gynaecological cancers can directly invade nearby tissues and organs or spread (metastasize) through the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes (lymphatic system) or blood stream to distant parts of the body. (Merks Manual,2010)
