If your GP believes you have symptoms that may indicate a gynaecological cancer, they will refer you to a gynaecologist or gynae-oncologist (specialist in gynaecological cancers).

The referral process may vary depending on the type of gynaecological cancer suspected.

Some patients with suspected cervical or vulval cancer may be referred to a colposcopy clinic for a biopsy.

Other patients will be referred to a gynae clinic.
