The cervix is a possible site of metastasis from any primary malignancy, but no specific indication on follow-up examination is present. We present an asymptomatic patient with isolated breast cancer cervical recurrence diagnosed by colposcopy after 11 years from primary disease. After a PubMed search and a review of current guidelines, no indication to follow-up examination regarding the cervix is present. The adoption of colposcopy in cancer survivors might be an aid to gynecologists in diagnosing cancer recurrence. Cancer survivors might benefit from a more thorough gynecologic examination as compared with the simple Papanicolaou test.
宫颈可能是任何原发性恶性肿瘤的转移部位,但随访检查中没有出现特定指征。我们报告一例无症状患者,在原发性疾病发生11年后经阴道镜检查诊断为孤立性乳腺癌宫颈复发。经PubMed检索并查阅现行指南后,未发现对宫颈进行随访检查的指征。癌症幸存者采用阴道镜检查可能有助于妇科医生诊断癌症复发。与单纯巴氏试验相比,癌症幸存者可能从更全面的妇科检查中获益。
