Over 21,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer each year – but do you know what this actually is? "Worryingly, one in seven women can’t name a single type of this kind of cancer, let alone realise there are five of them," says Athena Lamnisos, chief executive of cancer charity The Eve Appeal. "And many women are embarrassed, which might stop them going to the doctor," she adds. However, once you know what to look for, early detection can save lives.
