What are the Risk Factors for Gynecological Cancers?
Risk factors vary depending on the type of cancer. For example, HPV infection is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Age, genetic predisposition (such as BRCA mutations), and a history of breast cancer can increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Endometrial cancer is often linked to obesity, hormone replacement therapy, and a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
