Diagnostic performance of urgent referrals for suspected gynaecological malignancies.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to investigate the outcome of the urgent referrals with suspected gynaecological malignancy.
CONCLUSION: The overall predictive value of two-week wait referrals for suspected gynaecological malignancies is low. Refinement of the current referral guidelines is required with particular emphasis in the premenopausal women where the diagnostic performance of the urgent referrals is significantly poorer.
