Prevention and early detection remain essential to decreasing cancer mortality. Screening DNA in Pap smears has the potential to increase the rate of early detection of endometrial and ovarian cancers. In this issue of Science Translational Medicine, Kinde and colleagues use advanced sequencing technology to evaluate DNA to screen for gynecologic malignancies.
预防和早期发现仍然是降低癌症死亡率的关键。在巴氏涂片检查中筛查 DNA 有可能提高子宫内膜癌和卵巢癌的早期检出率。在本期《科学转化医学》中，Kinde 及其同事使用先进的测序技术评估 DNA 以筛查妇科恶性肿瘤。
