Female cancers: All women are at risk. Remember cervical cancer is related to exposure to HPV. Other cancers have some genetic variability, but all women need regular screening for these cancers.

One in 3 women: Cancer is a common disease affecting one in three women during their life. That said, there is ample opportunity to prevent cancer with a healthy life style, regular medical check up and following early detection guidelines by following the screening tests which your gynecologist can offer.Breast self examination is recommended once every month, so that you will be aware of your normal breasts.
