Report Overview
Many of the diseases and conditions that affect mainly women are interlinked with similar root
causes; however, placing all of the pieces of the puzzle together to ensure a cohesive
management strategy remains a challenge.
Women’s Health is a collection of multi-factorial conditions and diseases that solely affect or
are more prevalent in females. Many can have a serious impact on women’s overall long-term
health and quality of life. There are a number of causes of Women’s Health diseases, ranging
from hormonal fluctuations associated with specific points in a woman’s life through to
psychological issues underpinning certain lifestyle disorders. As these causes and the courses
and consequences of these diseases become better understood, the importance of targeted,
specific treatment is increasingly being recognized, with some female-specific interventions
now being investigated.

Report Overview
In addition, it is becoming increasingly crucial to understand and act on the interaction
between different diseases that primarily affect women, in order to ensure the most effective
treatment approaches.
Female cancers, particularly breast and cervical, have led the way in preventive and therapeutic
approaches, creating new paths for the management of other cancers and rendering some
previously highly terminal cancers manageable diseases. The advent of personalized therapy
for HER2-positive breast cancer was enabled through the identification of the HER2 gene and
development of targeted drugs, such as Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Tyverb (lapatinib), and
the prevention of cancer through vaccination has become the norm for cervical cancer.
However, the same cannot be said for other female cancers, where, in spite of identification of
gene mutations, targeted therapy is still in its infancy.
