Malignant diseases

Malignant diseases of the female organs are serious health problems that can affect various parts of the reproductive system, including the uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, cervix, ovaries, vagina and vulva.

The most common malignant diseases in this area include endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus), ovarian cancer (ovarian cancer), cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix) and tubal cancer (cancer of the fallopian tubes).


Malignant diseases of the female organs can be caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and environmental factors. Women may have an increased risk of these cancers due to family history, obesity, smoking, unhealthy diet or lack of prevention methods.


The symptoms of malignant diseases of the female organs can vary and often depend on the stage of the disease. Typical signs may include unusual bleeding, pain in the abdomen, changes in the menstrual cycle, increased discharge or weight loss. It is important to take these symptoms seriously and seek medical help at an early stage.


The diagnosis of malignant diseases of the female organs is based on a thorough medical history, gynecological examination, imaging procedures such as ultrasound or MRI and, if necessary, tissue sampling (biopsy). The treatment of malignant diseases of the female organs usually involves a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and, if necessary, targeted therapies.


It is important to have regular check-ups in order to detect malignant diseases at an early stage and initiate targeted treatment. A healthy lifestyle, avoiding risk factors and vaccinations against HPV can help to reduce the risk of malignant diseases of the female organs.
