Comment on "Incidental Gynecologic Cancers Who Underwent Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse"
Abstract
We read with great interest the article by Ismayilov et al. on the detection of incidental gynecologic malignancies in patients undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The study offers valuable insights into the prevalence of occult malignancies in this population and highlights the ongoing debate regarding the necessity of preoperative screening in asymptomatic individuals. While the findings contribute meaningfully to the existing literature, we wish to elaborate on several key aspects of the study that warrant further discussion.

Keywords : Incidental gynecologic cancer, pelvic organ prolapse, prolapse surgery, gynecologic malignancy, urogynecology
