The role of the gynecologist in the diagnosis and management of breast disease.
As women depend on their gynecologist for advice regarding their reproductive organs, including the breasts, it is mandatory for the gynecologist to obtain extensive experience in diagnostic and management procedures of breast disease. Postgraduate teaching in breast disease should be integrated in the basic training schemes for all resident gynecologists/obstetricians. These teaching programs should include all aspects of diagnosis, management and follow-up of breast disease.
