Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Sci Transl Med 2018;10:eaap8793) Although the Papanicolaou (Pap) test has dramatically decreased mortality from cervical cancer in the screened population, the test generally is unable to detect endometrial or ovarian cancers. These 2 cancers are usually diagnosed at an advanced stage when the prognosis is poor and treatment does not increase relative survival.
