Abstract

Women have special physiologic considerations that may increase their risk of being diagnosed with certain cancers; however, the most important aspect to remember is that women are diagnosed with and die from many of the same malignancies as men. Health care providers need to be vigilant in evaluating women because one of the best ways to increase the chance of survival is early detection.

摘要

女性有一些特殊的生理因素，这可能会增加她们被诊断出患有某些癌症的风险；然而，需要记住的最重要的一点是，女性被诊断出患有与男性相同的许多恶性肿瘤，并死于这些疾病。医疗保健提供者在评估女性时需要保持警惕，因为提高生存几率的最佳方法之一就是早期发现。
