Each year nearly 80,000 women in this country are diagnosed with a new case of gynecological cancer, and an estimated 28,000 die from these diseases.

In order to raise awareness, I held a summit on Women's Gynecological Cancers entitled "What Moms and Daughters Need to Know About Gynecological Cancers" at the Conseco Conference Center in Carmel on May 12, 2007.

Cervical, ovarian, and other types of gynecological cancers are easily treated if discovered early on.  It is extremely important both doctors and patients know the warning signs of these potentially life-threatening diseases.
