Keywords:
cervical cancer, prevalence, socioeconomic groups, stage of presentationAbstract
Gynecologic malignancies are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Understanding the most recent worldwide patterns and temporal changes in cervical cancer burden could help to prevent and control the disease. The goal of this retrospective study was to estimate the prevalence of cervical cancer among gynecological malignancies diagnosed at the Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute (BIACH&RI) Hyderabad, Telangana, India, between January 2017 and December 2021. This study received permission from the BIACH&RI's ethical committee. The information was manually obtained from clinical records based on each patient's MR numbers and the results were analyzed using a statistical package available from IBM SPSS version 26. During the study period of 5 years, a total of 94133 cases of various cancers were documented at BIACH&RI, among which 5524 were gynecological malignancies. The cervix was the most common site with 56%, followed by the ovary (26%) and endometrial (11.5%). Vulva and vaginal tumors were less frequent. According to this study cervical cancers occurred between 20-90 years with 61 percent of cases occurring in women aged 41 to 60.
