Abstract
Although the cause of ovarian cancer is unknown, the risk of developing the disease increases with age. Postmenopausal uterine bleeding is assumed to be caused by endometrial cancer until proven otherwise by adequate cytologic or histologic sampling of the endometrium. Older women need to be educated as to the benefits of regular pelvic examinations and Papanicolaou smears. Current Opinion in Obstetrics and gynecology 1995, 7:53-56Keywords
