Abstract

Objective:

The study aimed to evaluate the frequency and pattern of gynecological malignancies in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials & Methods:

A 5 years retrospective analysis of all the patients having gynecological malignancies was done. A total of 82 cases were included in the study; 3 cases were excluded due to incomplete data. Relevant details regarding age, parity, histological type, stage of the disease were entered in a predesigned proforma. Frequency and percentages were calculated using SPSS vs. 17.

Results:

The frequency of gynecological cancer was 0.314%. Ovarian cancer was the most common gynecological malignancy (64.55%), carcinoma endometrium was second in number (18.7%), while carcinoma vagina was the least common gynecological malignancy (1.26%). More than 2/3rd of ovarian cancer were diagnosed in advanced stages, while most of the endometrial cancer cases were diagnosed in early stages. Frequency of gynecological malignancy increased after 40 years. Most of the gynecological malignancies were diagnosed in multi and grand multipara.

Conclusion:

Ovarian cancer was the most common gynecological malignancy, and most of the cases were diagnosed in advanced stages.
