The term partial and full is understood differently by the public. Partial: a section is removed, full: entire uterus removed. For uterine cancer if surgery is to be pursued (in a 35 yo, sometimes hormonal therapy is used for preservation of fertility, and defer surgery to a future date) it means full hysterectomy. The remaining question is, at the age of 35, does one also remove the ovaries? Furthermore, does one need to perform additional surgical steps to rule out spread of disease?

Highly controversial! We want to avoid false positives studies that may lead to unnecessary procedures. While pelvic exams are valuable and should be done, one can easily miss a pathology! Should it be a routine part of an annual exam? There are differing opinions. My position: One should have a low threshold to ordering an ultrasound of the pelvis as part of an exam, especially in postmenopausal women, overweight individuals, by also taking into consideration their personal and family histories.

Is breast cancer genetic?
About one in ten breast cancers can be transmitted genetically (from family), so most breast cancers aren't passed on to offsprings. Depending on the age of diagnosis of breast READ MORE
About one in ten breast cancers can be transmitted genetically (from family), so most breast cancers aren't passed on to offsprings. Depending on the age of diagnosis of breast cancer, there may be a need for genetic testing, looking for abnormal genes (mutation of the BRCA gene). If such mutation is found, the lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, along with some other cancers, becomes very significant.
