Genetic counselling
A dedicated genetic counsellor helps the patients to assess the genetic risks and with the modern genetic tests available each patient is able to know if they or their family members carry an increased risk for cancers. This can help women take measures to prevent cancer if found at risk. The genetic lab at Amrita can test for a wide array of genetic mutations that can cause cancer including the BRCA mutations.

Gynaecologic cancer refers to any cancer that starts in a woman's reproductive organs. The main types include cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers. Each type has distinct symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options.
Early warning signs of gynaecologic cancer can vary depending on the type but may include abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pelvic pain, bloating, changes in bathroom habits, and unexplained weight loss. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you notice any unusual symptoms.
Screening tests are routinely recommended for cervical cancer. Pap smear and HPV tesing are the tests used most often. For other cancers, screening is offered for persons with a significant family history alone.
Family history plays a significant role in the risk of developing certain types of gynaecologic cancer, especially ovarian and uterine cancers. If you have a family history of these cancers, your doctor may recommend genetic testing or more frequent screenings to monitor your health.
Treatments for gynaecologic cancers typically include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences.
When discussing gynaecologic cancer testing with your doctor, consider asking the following questions:
What tests will you perform to diagnose my condition?
How accurate are these tests?
Are there any risks or side effects associated with the tests?
How should I prepare for the tests?
When will I get the results, and who will explain them to me?

Yes, it is possible to develop cancer during pregnancy, although it is rare. The most common types of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy include breast cancer, cervical cancer, lymphoma, and melanoma. Treatment options will depend on the type of cancer, its stage, and the pregnancy trimester.
Fertility preservation for cervical cancer patients can involve several approaches, such as:
Cryopreservation: Freezing eggs, embryos, or ovarian tissue before treatment.
Radical Trachelectomy: A surgical procedure that removes the cervix but preserves the uterus.
Ovarian Transposition: Moving the ovaries away from the radiation field if radiation therapy is needed.
