It?s September again and that means it?s Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.? This is an important designation, as over 80,000 women in the United States ? including over 1,100 in South Carolina ? will develop a gynecologic cancer this year.? Awareness of these cancers, by women and healthcare providers, is extremely important in improving the chance of making the diagnosis early in the disease process so that optimal care, with good prognosis, can be achieved.?
