Hi guys,
Does anyone know the number 1 risk factor for cervical CA, endometrial CA, and ovarian CA. The reason i ask because i have friends who recently took the exam told me that they love to ask the most common risk factor in Ob/Gyn's disease? also does anyone know about most common risk factor in abruption placenta, placenta previa. I don't think kaplan rank these risk factors. Thank you for all you help...

But they also ask for protective factors.
BCP pretects pt from ovarian and endometrial cancer !
Tamoxifen protects pt after breast cancer

I WAS SURPRISED THEY ASK RISK FACTORS AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS IN SO MANY QUESTIONS REGARDING TO ALL CANCERS. LUNG, BREAST, ENDOMETRIAL, ETC.
