Oncological follow-up examinations in gynecology (post-cancer treatment check-ups with the gynecologist) refer to regular medical check-ups that women receive after cancer treatment to monitor disease progression and detect potential recurrences at an early stage.
During follow-up, the following may be performed:
- Physical examinations
- Imaging procedures, such as mammography or ultrasound
- Laboratory tests
The goal is to ensure the patient’s well-being and detect any signs of cancer recurrence early, allowing for timely treatment. Follow-up exams and their frequency may vary based on cancer type and individual factors.
