The low attendance rate for cancer screening tests in Poland is a major healthcare concern that requires specific analysis and the development of implementation recommendations for prevention, and both actions are likely to benefit culturally similar countries. Four female cancers account for approximately 20% of all cancer cases-breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer-suggesting that gynecologists have a significant preventative role. Of the four, breast cancer and cervical cancer are among the 10 most common malignant neoplasms globally, regardless of gender, occur only in women and are known to have effective screening measures.

Myometrial invasion (MI) is a parameter currently used in transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in endometrial cancer (EC) to determine local staging; however, without molecular diagnostics, it is insufficient for the selection of high-risk cases, i.e., those with a high risk of lymph node metastases (LNM).

Proper targeted cancer prophylaxis reduces the incidence of cancer in all forms; this includes cancers with significant progression potential and poor prognosis. Based on the assumption that one of the risk factors of cervical cancer is the avoidance of screening tests, we analyzed the current scenario of cervical cancer (CC) screening and recommendations in Poland (country with a well-off socioeconomic status). Based on the comprehensive literature review concerning documents of guidelines and recommendations of various bodies, including national ones, data on the implementation of CC screening in Poland, and different models for medium-to-high-income countries, we proposed how the CC screening strategy could be improved.

Background: Ultrasonography's usefulness in endometrial cancer (EC) diagnosis consists in its roles in staging and prediction of metastasis. Ultrasound-measured tumor-free distance from the tumor to the uterine serosa (uTFD) is a promising marker for these diagnostic and prognostic variables. The aim of the study was to determine the usefulness of this biomarker in locoregional staging, and thus in the prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM).
