Malignant Tumors of Female Genital Tract in Syria: A Study of (5000) Cases

Abstract

Background and objective: Focus on different variants of female genital tract malignant tumors in Syria and its distribution according to female genital tract, and percentage of each of it. On the other hand, it doesn't express necessarily actual percentage because not all cases in Syria consult necessarily the University Hospital of Obstetric and Female Diseases in Damascus, but it reflects the percentage of different types of malignant tumors of female genital tracts which attack the women.

Materials and Methods: This study is Descriptive-Analytic research which is a form of Cohort studies, its information is building recurrently. We studied 5000 cases of female genital tract malignant tumors between the years 2000 – 2015 in the University Hospital of Obstetric and Female Diseases in Damascus for women of different ages from 9 years to 86 years. 

Results: The number of vaginal and vulvar malignant tumors was 350 cases (7%) most of it was squamous cell carcinoma, the number of cervical malignant tumors was 2190 cases (43.8%) most of it was also squamous cell carcinoma, the number of uterus corpus malignant tumors was 610 cases (12.2%) most of it was endometrial carcinoma, the number of ovarian malignant tumors was 1660 cases (33.2%) most of it was surface epithelial ovarian carcinomas, the number of fallopian tube malignant tumors was 20 cases (0.4%), the number of gestational trophoblastic malignant tumors was 170 cases (3.4%) most of it was choriocarcinoma . 

Conclusion: It was observed that cervical carcinomas was the most female genital tract malignant tumors publicity in Syria and this doesn't accord with universal studies which put cervical carcinomas in the third degree of female genital tract malignant tumors after ovarian and corpus uteri tumors because the use of methods of early detection such as smears and the use of HPV vaccine which has a significant role in cervical carcinomas, it was noticed also that the incidence of cervical carcinomas is continually increasing among the young women and that agrees with some universal studies, and it was observed also that most of women which have cervical carcinomas did not have cervical smear. So, this study, according to its data, can put the materials and methods which are necessary for detection of these tumors and protection of them and put the best methods for their therapy
