This article provides an up-to-date summary of screening approaches and key strategies in prevention of gynecologic malignancies. The Pap smear is the only proven screening intervention in the field of gynecologic oncology. Women should receive treatment for precancerous conditions of the cervix, vulva, vagina, and endometrial lining. Women with inherited conditions should consider having a risk-reducing surgery once they have finished childbearing.
