Global burden of gynecological cancers

Abstract

Gynecological cancers include malignant tumours arising from reproductive organs in women including ovaries, uterus, vagina vulva, and cervix. Cervical cancer is reported to be the most common cancer while the vagina is reported to have the lowest incidence all around the world. According to the World Health Organization report Asia has the highest rate of gynecological cancers followed by Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America, and the lowest rate is observed in Oceania. The rate was predicted to rise in the upcoming years. Thus appropriate strategies are needed to be adopted to control disease outcomes and adopt preventive strategies.
