Some gynecologic cancers, including ovarian and uterine cancer, have a strong genetic component. Women with a family history of breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer may carry mutations in genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, or Lynch syndrome-related genes, increasing their cancer risk. Genetic counseling and early screening play a crucial role in prevention and early detection. In some cases, risk-reducing surgeries, such as prophylactic hysterectomy or oophorectomy, may be recommended to lower the likelihood of developing cancer. Close monitoring with imaging and biomarker testing further helps in early intervention. Dr. Munisha Sharma, based in Gurugram Sector 41, specializes in treating familial gynecologic cancers, providing personalized surgical solutions based on genetic risk assessment.
