Gynecological cancer is the fourth most common type worldwide; the steep rise in chronic illnesses constitutes a public health challenge for health services and policymakers. The diagnosis of cancer affects patients and their families physically, financially, and emotionally. Cancer is still considered synonymous with death, pain, and suffering.
