Background: Gynecological cancers, including cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women globally. Early detection and timely intervention can significantly reduce mortality rates. However, awareness of the early signs and risk factors for gynecological cancers remains limited, particularly in rural and resource-constrained areas like Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Understanding public knowledge about these cancers is essential for developing effective awareness and prevention programs.Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 women aged 18 years and above in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh, over three months. A structured questionnaire, validated by experts, was used to assess socio-demographic characteristics, awareness of early signs, and knowledge of risk factors associated with gynecological cancers. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and knowledge levels were categorized as Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor.Results: The study revealed that 67% of participants were from rural areas, with 60% having completed secondary education or higher. While 79.5% were aware of Pap smears as a critical screening tool, only 64% identified obesity as a risk factor, and 66% recognized the significance of family history. Knowledge distribution showed that 27% scored Very Good, 35% Good, 29% Fair, and 9% Poor. Awareness of early warning signs like abnormal vaginal bleeding was moderate (72.5%), indicating gaps in knowledge that require targeted intervention.Conclusion:While foundational awareness of gynecological cancers exists, significant gaps in knowledge, particularly regarding risk factors and comprehensive early signs, highlight the need for targeted health education initiatives. Community-based programs and the integration of gynecological health education into primary healthcare services can address these gaps, fostering earlier detection and better outcomes.
