Abstract
More than 100,000 cases of gynecologic cancer are diagnosed every year in the USA. Women who survived primary treatment for gynecologic cancer are estimated at more than 8 million and are likely to increase at about 10 million in the coming decade. It is obvious that there is a growing population group that needs a proper care by a team of health professionals. Post-treatment monitoring of gynecologic cancer survivors ideally has to achieve three major objectives: 1) tο diagnose, as early as possible, the recurrence of the disease, either local or distant; 2) to improve the quality of life of cancer survivors; and 3) to achieve all the above goals with a reasonable cost for the Health Providing Systems. In this report, the authors refer to post-treatment monitoring of women with all kinds of gynecologic cancers (endometrial, ovarian, vulvar, vaginal, and cervical) and the follow up of women after primary treatment for breast cancer.
