For many years female reproductive system cancers have been a significant group among all malignant tumours in women. Among the symptoms accompanying advanced stages of cancer, particularly cervical and corpus uteri, bleeding and haemorrhages constitute a major clinical problem. In the case of patients with advanced-stage cancer, especially when progression or recurrence occurs in women who have already completed causal treatment, they can pose a significant clinical problem, often resulting in death. The following article discusses both diagnostic and treatment principles, including pharmacotherapy and surgical approaches, such as radiotherapy, interventional radiology, and surgical procedures. The principles of management in the terminal period of the disease are also presented, taking into account the support provided to both the patient and the relatives caring for her at that time.
