What you have to prove
Meet listing via: (1) cervical, uterine, vulvar, or vaginal carcinoma extending beyond the pelvic wall or producing obstructive uropathy; OR (2) ovarian or fallopian tube carcinoma with metastases beyond the pelvis OR all other variants beyond defined stages.
Medical evidence SSA expects
Pathology, imaging, CA-125 (ovarian), and treatment records.
Common misconceptions
Ovarian cancer stage III+ typically qualifies. Early cervical cancer treated with hysterectomy often doesn't unless recurrent.
Didn't meet the listing? You can still qualify via a Medical-Vocational
Allowance — SSA's determination that your residual functional capacity, combined with
your age, education, and work history, leaves no jobs you can do. See our
appeals guide for what to do after an initial denial.
