Across entire North America, especially in the United States, in all the healthcare organizations, gynecologic oncologists are available to provide the common people with a second opinion and design a treatment plan tailored to the tumor type, cancer stage, and individual needs. Such initiatives have a positive impact on the uterine cancer treatment and diagnostics market in North America.
