description The objective of this study was to determine current practice with regards to follow-up after gynecological malignancy. A questionnaire survey of all lead clinicians in gynecological cancer centers in England was done. The most common duration of routine follow-up was 5 years for all of the main gynecological cancers (ovarian, endometrial, vulval, and cervical). The most common follow-up patterns were three monthly for 2 years then six monthly for 3 years after ovarian cancer; three monthly for the first year, four monthly for the second year, six monthly for the third year then annually for 1 year after endometrial cancer; three monthly for the first year, four monthly for the second year, six monthly for the third and fourth years, then annually for 1 year after vulval cancer; three monthly for the first year, four monthly for the second year, six monthly for the third and fourth years, then annually for 1 year after cervical cancer. The test for CA125 was routinely performed by 67% of cancer networks to detect recurrence after ovarian cancer. Routine follow-up after gynecological cancer continues to be standard practice, despite limited evidence to support its use. Prospective research is needed to determine best practice.
