Gynecologic malignancies remain an important health concern for women. The primary care practitioner plays a valuable role in performing regular Pap smears and pelvic examinations. Although routine screening for asymptomatic women for ovarian and endometrial cancer cannot be recommended at this time, vaginal ultrasound is a valuable tool for the evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding and ovarian masses.
妇科恶性肿瘤仍然是女性重要的健康问题。初级保健医生在进行常规巴氏涂片检查和盆腔检查方面发挥着重要作用。虽然目前不建议对无症状女性进行卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌的常规筛查,但阴道超声是评估绝经后出血和卵巢肿块的重要工具。
