As statistics reveal, cancer is responsible for roughly 1,500 female deaths annually.
And with the demographic health survey saying that an average Papua New Guinean family size is four children, this leaves about 6000 children motherless yearly.
Cancer, particularly cancer-below-the-belt, is still a very uncomfortable topic to discus with women and even men.
But health specialists keep reminding us that knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help prevent them or find them early (when they are small and easier to treat) may help save your life.
