Breast cancer is mainly diagnosed in women and it is by far the most common female cancer, accounting for around 17% of female deaths from cancer in the UK. Gynaecological cancers, including cancers of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, vagina, vulva and, rarely, the fallopian tube, are the fourth most common form of cancer among women.
