“…Among 62 cases of ovarian tumours, most cases belonged to the 31-40 years age group. This is consistent with studies done by Patel et al, Devi et al, Garg et al, and Pilli et al 12,[14][15][16] We found abdominal pain in 70.9% of cases as the most common presenting complaint followed by menorrhagia in 9.8% and abdominal distension in 4.1%. Gonsai et al found these findings in 52%, 16% and 18% of cases respectively.…”

Background: Ovarian tumours pose a significant and intricate issue, contributing to the wide-ranging problem of ovarian pathology. The mortality rate of this condition surpasses the combined mortality rate of endometrial and cervical neoplasms. To address this challenge, we conducted a study of the clinical spectrum, its accompanying findings, and various histomorphological patterns of ovarian lesions. Our findings provide a definite diagnosis, which is of great clinical importance and aids in enhancing the understanding of the disease and developing proper management plans for patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the department of pathology, ESIC hospital from January 2021 to December 2021. A total of 62 ovarian tumours, were analysed for a year, verifying their clinical, radiological, and gross features and correlating them with histopathological findings. Results: Out of 62 cases, 53 were benign, 3 cases were borderline and 6 were malignant. Most of the patients (60%) were from the reproductive age group. Among non-neoplastic lesions, the commonest epithelial tumours were serous cystadenoma 35 cases (43.5 %), 10 mucinous (16.1%). The most common germ cell tumour was mature cystic teratoma 10 cases (16.5%) and others. Among neoplastic lesions, five cases were of surface epithelial type. Abdominal pain (70.97%) is the most common presenting symptom, followed by dysfunctional uterine bleeding (9.6%), mass per abdomen (4.8%), abdominal distention (4.2%), and loss of weight (3.4%). The right ovary is more affected than the left. Bilaterality was observed in all lesions of size more than 4.5 cm. Conclusions: The ovary is a frequently affected site of tumours in the female reproductive system, and they often exhibit a diverse range of clinical, morphological, and histological characteristics. Among these tumours, benign tumours are the most prevalent, with surface epithelial tumours being the most commonly observed subtype. In this study, benign epithelial tumours comprised the majority of cases, accounting for 66.2% of cases. The most common types of benign tumours were serous cysts, corpus luteal cyst and mature cystic teratoma. It is important to note that although most ovarian tumours are benign, some can be malignant, requiring more aggressive treatment. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to warrant the best probable outcome for the patient.

“…2 In Eastern India, including Manipur, cervix uteri (9.5%) and ovarian cancer are among the most prevalent causes of death in women from gynaecological cancer. 3 Gynaecological cancer poses significant challenges, deeply affecting a woman's life and her family dynamics. It impacts femininity, fertility, sexuality, physical and mental health, social relationships, and work-life balance, ultimately diminishing the overall quality of life.…”

Background; Gynecological cancer significantly affects femininity, sexuality, fertility, physical and psychosocial relationships leading to impaired quality of life. There is a dearth of literature that identifies the unmet psychosocial supportive care needs of gynecological cancer patients in North East, India especially in Manipur. The study aims to explore the unmet supportive care needs of women with gynecological cancers and to determine correlates with demographic variables. Methodology: A cross-sectional study using the “Supportive Care Needs Survey questionnaire (SCNS SF-34) in conjunction with demographic data was done on 72 participants recruited through purposive sampling. Ethical clearance was obtained. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 26. Results: Physical and daily living were the domains with the highest unmet supportive needs. The top five items with highest unmet needs were lack of energy, feelings of sadness, not being able to do things they used to do, pain, feeling unwell and feeling depressed. Age, education, occupation, income, type of cancer, and comorbidities showed a significant difference in sexual and psychological unmet needs (p=<0.05). Conclusion: Gynecological cancer patients reveal substantial unmet psychosocial needs, emphasizing the importance of early screening for targeted interventions that can enhance their quality of life.
