Abstract

In the time of modern medicine, gynecologic cancers kill millions of people annually. Worldwide, breast cancer is the first among cancer types in terms of incidence rate. Cervical cancer continues to be a public health issue, despite all methods of prevention and early detection. Ovarian cancer is considered a "silent killer" and associates high incidence and mortality in women. The incidence of uterine cancer has increased by one percent per year in the last ten years. We analyzed the histopathological results of gynecologic neoplasms during 2016-2021, using the database of the pathological anatomy department within the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital. Breast cancer was the most common type, with an incidence of 34.86%, followed by cervix cancer - 29.44%, uterine cancer - 24.93%, and ovarian cancer - 10.76%. The proportion of each form of cancer respected the reports declared for the worldwide female population. In our opinion, all forces should orient themselves towards campaigns of correct information, promotion of prevention methods, and awareness of unfavorable prognosis.
