“…We have found squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to be the most commonly observed histolopathologic type which is similar to other studies conducted in Pakistan and Bangladesh [10] [27]. The fact that this histopathologic type is pathogenically associated with Human Papilloma Virus might explain its prevalence.…”

“…Epithelial, specifically serous tumor, was the predominant type of ovarian cancer in our population, similar to the findings of studies conducted in other populations [10,27,29]. Unfortunately, serous tumors are mostly high-grade serous carcinomas and are characterized by aggressive behavior, late-stage diagnosis, and low survival, contributing to the poor survival for ovarian cancer overall [30].…”

Introduction Cancer is a leading cause of death in both more and less economically developed countries; the burden is expected to grow in less developed countries, such as Ethiopia. Lack of adequate information is one of the major problems preventing the design of cancer control strategies in Ethiopia. Objective To characterize gynecological and breast cancers among clients attending Gynecologic clinic of Saint Paul Hospital Millennium Medical college over 5 year period. Methods We retrospectively reviewed characteristics of 2,002 female cancer patients who visited the Oncology unit of Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College from 2014-2018. We estimated the proportion, pattern and trend of common types of gynecologic cancers as well as breast cancer. The ten years incidence projection was also computed. Result From the 2,002 malignancies, cervical (46.7%) was the most frequent cancer followed by breast (29.3%) and ovarian cancers (13%). The majority of breast cancers were observed among younger patients whereas cervical cancer was predominantly observed among older women. An overall increment in number of breast and gynecologic cancer was observed over the five years period.

Background: The major bulk of histopathological specimens are the gynecological specimens consisting of hysterectomies or biopsies of cervix. Routine histopathological evaluation of suspicious lesions can lead to early detection of cancerous lesions. Objective: All specimens were studied histologically and a diagnosis was made. Sociodemographic profile of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions was compared using chi-square test. Material and Methods:The study consisted of 279 cases of uterine cervix that were submitted for histopathological evaluation. Result: Benign lesions constituted the major bulk (75.6%) followed by malignant lesions (21.5%) and premalignant lesions (2.87%). The most common benign lesion was chronic cervicitis (33.69%) and most common malignant lesion was keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (10.39%). Chi square test revealed significant association of malignancy with tobacco use, multiparity and marriage before 18 years. Conclusion:Screening of sexually active females along with awareness against causal factors might help in reducing cervical malignancies.

Objectives: To find out the pattern of female gynecological malignancies in Pakistan, with the aim of providing basis for the development of preventive strategies to combat the current trend. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Department of Oncology, Nishtar Medical University, Multan, Pakistan. Period: 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2019. Material & Methods: A retrospective analysis of all the cases of female gynecological malignancies presented was carried out using a proforma. The data was analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Results: The gynecological malignancies are the fourth (20.64%) most common female malignancies. Among gynecological cancers; ovarian cancer (47.1%) is the commonest, followed by cervical cancer (24.8%), uterine cancer (11.6%), gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (12.9%), vaginal cancer (2%) and vulval cancer (1.6%). Conclusion: Gynecological malignancies constitute a major portion of female malignancies. The need of the hour is to design effective preventive and control strategies, so as to lower the burden of female gynecological malignancies in future.
