VASALLO PASTOR, Nancy; PENA CEDENO, Adis L.  y  RODRIGUEZ PEREZ, Alfredo. Malignant neoplasms in our environment: A ten-year study. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 1999, vol.25, n.3, pp. 190-193. ISSN 1561-3062.

616 patients with female genital malignant neoplasms, who had been operated on at the Teaching Gynecological and Obstetric Hospital in Guanabacoa from 1984-1994, were studied. As a result, it was observed that 2.9 % of biopsies corresponded to malignant neoplasms and the most frequent was the cervix-uteri carcinoma (423 cases accounting for 68,6 % of total number). Breast and endometriun neoplasms are the second and third causes. Whose histological varieties are similar to those reported in literature. The importance of strenghtening surveillance and increasing the effectiveness in the early detection of cervix uterine cancer and of breast cancer are evidenced.

Palabras clave : GENITAL NEOPLASMS; FEMALE [epidemiology].
