Prevention and Screening of Gynecological Malignancies in Elderly

Prevention and screening for gynecological cancers in elderly women focus on early detection and risk reduction. Regular check-ups and screenings like Pap tests and pelvic exams are vital for identifying cervical and uterine cancers early when they are most treatable. Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) can help prevent cervical cancer. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can reduce cancer risk. It's essential to discuss personal health history and any symptoms with healthcare providers for tailored screening and preventive strategies. Engaging in awareness and education ensures better outcomes for older women.
