A healthy 42-year-old female executive presents to your office
for a preemployment physical examination. She has no significant
past medical illnesses and does not smoke or use any
medications. She is in a stable, healthy marriage and she has
2 children, ages 18 and 20 years. She has not seen a physician
for many years. Her family history is remarkable for an
older brother having had colon cancer at age 50 years; he had
resection and is doing well without evidence of recurrence 6
years later. There is no other significant family history.

a. Chest radiography, mammography, and pelvic examination
and Papanicolaou test

ovarian ultrasonography, and determination of the serum
cancer antigen 125 level
