  • Title: Screening for the major malignancies affecting women: current guidelines.
    Author: Paley PJ.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 2001 Apr; 184(5):1021-30. PubMed ID: 11303215.
    Abstract:
    Throughout their lifetimes, many women rely on the obstetrician-gynecologist to provide them with regular health care. Therefore the obstetrician-gynecologist should be able to provide comprehensive information regarding consensus screening recommendations for the major malignancies that occur in women. Additionally, a woman's health care provider should continually refine his or her cancer risk--assessment skills and should remain apprised of high-risk habits, family histories, and other cancer-predisposing factors that allow identification of those women in whom heightened surveillance or intervention may be appropriate. This article reviews the epidemiologic and risk factors associated with the major malignancies that affect women today and provides screening guidelines.
