This review presents some of the articles published over the past year pertaining to the etiology, epidemiology, risk and prognostic factors, screening, and imaging techniques of gynecologic cancer. The most significant advances in this period were made in the area of the genetics of gynecologic cancers and the factors that control tumor growth. New technologies are being developed in this area, which may eventually produce therapies aimed at controlling gynecologic cancers at the genetic or cellular level. Research continues for ideal screening tests for noncervical gynecologic cancers. Continuing advances were made in imaging techniques, eg, magnetic resonance imaging, which can now display very high-resolution pictures of cancers in vivo, but this technology is limited by both cost and insufficient studies proving its value.
本综述介绍了过去一年发表的一些与妇科癌症的病因、流行病学、风险和预后因素、筛查及成像技术相关的文章。这一时期最显著的进展出现在妇科癌症遗传学以及控制肿瘤生长的因素领域。该领域正在研发新技术，这些技术最终可能产生旨在从基因或细胞水平控制妇科癌症的疗法。针对非宫颈癌的理想筛查测试的研究仍在继续。成像技术不断取得进展，例如磁共振成像，它现在能够在体内显示癌症的高分辨率图像，但这项技术受到成本以及证明其价值的研究不足的限制。
