were included in the study.Results: Among 62 cases, cervical cancer was the commonest (71%) followed by ovarian cancer (14%), endometrial FDQFHU DQG FKRULRFDUFLQRPD 0DMRULW\ RI ZRPHQ EHORQJHG WR \HDUV IRU HDFK W\SH RI WXPRUV )RXU¿IWK RI endometrial, half of the cervical and one-third of ovarian cancers were among grand-multipara. Sixty nine percent of women received treatment with 22 (9 cervical, 9 ovarian, 3 endometrial and one of corpus uteri) surgical and 21 primary chemo/ radiotherapy but 19 (31%) were lost for follow-up. Squamous type of cervical cancer was the commonest (93%). Conclusions:Cervical cancer was the commonest genital tract malignancy followed by ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and choriocarcinoma. For each type of tumors, 50-59 years was the common age group and grand multiparity was seen in half of the women with the cervical cancer. Squamous type of cervical cancer was the commonest variety..H\ZRUGV genital; malignancy; tumor.

Histopathological Pattern of Gynecological Malignancies at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal: A 3 years Study

“…Endometrial cancer remained the third common gynecological malignancy in our study (9.23%) which is similar to Pokhrel et al 10 (10%) but slightly higher than Jha et al 9 (5.5%), Dhakal et al 11 (2.1%) which is in contrast to the findings of western countries where endometrial cancer is 35% of all gynecological malignancies. The low incidence of endometrial cancer may be due to the low incidence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and breast cancer in our country as compared to the west.…”

“…11,17 Endometroid adenocarcinoma variety was the commonest endometrial cancer in our study which is correlating with findings in another study. 9 Thus serous adenocarcinoma is the most common ovarian cancer, non-keratinizing squamous cell cancer is the most common cervical cancer and endometroid adenocarcinoma is the most common endometrial carcinoma in the present study.…”

“…In our study, ovarian cancer was the most common gynecological malignancy (50.63%) which is similar to done in Pakistan and Tehran where it was present among 55.5% of gynecological malignancy. 7,8 However, It was found lower in different studies carried out in Nepal Jha et al (14%) 9 , Pokhrel et al (17%). 10 Dhakal et al 11 reported ovarian cancer to be the second most common gynecological cancer (6.4%).…”

“…In developing countries, cervical cancer is known to be the most common cancer accounting for 60% of the gynecological burden. 12 Dhakal et al 11 from data collected in B.P Koirala memorial cancer hospital and Jha et al 9 collected data from Paropakar maternity and women's hospital have also shown cervical cancer as number one cancer among women in Nepal. Thus, the discrepancy seen in the frequency of gynecological malignancy in this study could be because being conducted in the capital of the country, the socioeconomic status of people is comparatively better than the rural area which is one of the known risk factors for cancer cervix.…”

Incidence of neoplastic lesions of female genital tract in a tertiary care centre: A 3 year retrospective study

“…In our study majority of the women with endometrial cancer were in the age group of 61-70 years similar to the study of Gaikwad SL et al [12] who also reported incidence of endometrial carcinoma in 6th and 7 th decade. The mean age of endometrial cancer ranged from 52 to 57 in other studies [17,26] The percentage of carcinoma endometrium in our study constituted 4.82% cases of the total neoplastic lesions. In the study conducted by Gaikwad SL et al [12] and Khandekar S et al [15] only 2.14% and 3.38% of endometrial carcinomas respectively, were reported which is lower as compared to our study.…”
