Abstract
Screening for cervical cancer with the Pap test has significantly reduced mortality from the disease. Although screening for ovarian and endometrial cancer is desirable, suggested strategies have not demonstrated efficacy. For the present time, educating patients with regard to the symptoms associated with these diseases and prompt evaluation of women who present with these symptoms helps limit unnecessary diagnostic delay.
