Women Reproductive Cancers

Reproductive cancers are cancers that affect the organs involved in reproduction. These cancers occur in the reproductive organs and include breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. In women, reproductive cancers also encompass ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer. Ovarian cancer affects the ovaries, which produce female hormones and eggs, while uterine cancer occurs in the uterus (womb), where a baby develops. Reproductive cancers can also affect the prostate, testicles, and penis in men. Vaginal cancer specifically affects the vagina.
