abstract: The decline in deaths from cervical cancer in the US, as well as the improved survival of women with advanced disease have resulted, according to Dr. Rubin, from widespread application of routine screening with the Pap test, the emergence of gynecologic oncology as a distinct medical subspecialty, and the completion of important clinical trials.
