The most common cancer in women in India | KCC

Empowering women with knowledge is key in the fight against cancer. From breast to cervical cancer, understanding the most common types empowers early detection and effective treatment. Let's raise awareness and prioritise women's health together.

Breast Cancer: Affects the breast tissue, with various subtypes and stages requiring tailored treatment approaches.

Lung Cancer: Primarily caused by smoking, although non-smokers can also develop it, lung cancer affects the lungs' cells and often spreads rapidly.

Colorectal Cancer: Arising in the colon or rectum, colorectal cancer can be detected early through screening and treated effectively if diagnosed promptly.

Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer: Occurring in the lining of the uterus, uterine cancer may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, particularly after menopause.

Ovarian Cancer: Often diagnosed at advanced stages due to vague symptoms, ovarian cancer requires specialized treatment tailored to the individual's condition.

Cervical Cancer: Linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, cervical cancer can be prevented through vaccination and detected early through regular screenings.

Skin Cancer: Including melanoma and non-melanoma types, skin cancer is largely preventable by practicing sun safety measures and avoiding tanning beds.
