An integral part of the gynecologic examination is examination of the breasts. The gynecologist may be the primary physician, sometimes the only physician, seen on a regular basis by women of childbearing age. Such periodic examinations should continue after menopause. Cancer of the breast is recognized more often by gynecologists than by any other physician, and so gynecologists must be trained in those diagnostic procedures that are important in revealing the nature of breast nodules. Many gynecologists perform not only periodic gynecologic examination, including breast palpation and Pap smear, but a 10-point general cancer examination as well. In addition, the gynecologist must counsel and instruct his patients with respect to breast self-examination, mammography and smoking. In many parts of the world, the surgically trained gynecologic oncologist participates in treatment as well as detection and diagnosis. The fight against breast cancer requires the insights and skills of all physicians and scientists who can make a contribution in this field.
妇科检查的一个重要组成部分是乳房检查。妇科医生可能是育龄女性定期就诊的首诊医生，有时甚至是唯一的医生。绝经后也应继续进行此类定期检查。与其他任何医生相比，妇科医生发现乳腺癌的情况更为常见，因此妇科医生必须接受那些对揭示乳腺结节性质很重要的诊断程序的培训。许多妇科医生不仅进行包括乳房触诊和巴氏涂片检查在内的定期妇科检查，还进行全面的十点癌症检查。此外，妇科医生必须就乳房自我检查、乳房X光检查和吸烟问题为患者提供咨询和指导。在世界许多地区，接受过外科培训的妇科肿瘤学家不仅参与检测和诊断，还参与治疗。抗击乳腺癌需要所有能在该领域做出贡献的医生和科学家的见解和技能。
