Gynaecological cancer screening is evolving. While cervical cancer screening advances, ovarian cancer screening requires further trial data. Endometrial, vulval, and vaginal cancer screening is currently not justified.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Cancer Screening Technologies
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The effectiveness of mass screening for cervical cancer has spurred interest in early detection methods for other gynaecological malignancies.
  • This review examines current advancements and future directions in gynaecological cancer screening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and future prospects of screening for various gynaecological cancers.
  • To evaluate the evidence supporting or refuting screening for cervical, ovarian, endometrial, vulval, and vaginal cancers.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search of Medline and cited articles was conducted.
  • The review synthesized findings on screening modalities and trial outcomes for gynaecological cancers.

Main Results:

  • Cervical cancer screening is advancing with liquid-based cytology and HPV testing, pending trial results.
  • Ovarian cancer screening efficacy is under investigation through large multicentre trials (e.g., UKCTOCS, PLCO study).
  • Screening for endometrial, vulval, and vaginal cancers is not currently recommended due to symptom presentation, survival rates, or rarity.

Conclusions:

  • Further evaluation and results from large-scale trials are necessary before implementing new gynaecological cancer screening methods.
  • Current evidence does not support population-based screening for endometrial, vaginal, or vulval cancers.
