If you don't have ovaries or a cervix, you can't get ovarian or cervical cancer . It would be cancer of something that doesn't exist. There is still a small risk of peritoneal cancer which is similar to ovarian cancer. However, the screenings are not for ovarian cancer... they're specifically for cell abnormalities on the cervix, and if you don't have a cervix, you obviously can't get it ... smeared.

All that said; I'm actually not all for across-the-board screening, and personally won't be having regular prostate examinations.
