Pelvic examination: A pelvic examination is part of every gynecologic visit and should be done yearly. A pelvic exam includes a rectal exam. When a cancer diagnosis is made, the doctor examines the pelvic area to see if the cancer has spread to nearby organs, such as the uterus, vagina, bladder, and rectum.
