[Gynecologic cancers in a hospital: a retrospective analysis of admission data over ten years].

Objective: To investigate admission patterns of patients with gynecologic cancers over a ten year period, which will provide a basis for further epidemiological studies.
Methods: We reviewed medical records of patients with gynecologic cancers who were admitt d to the West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University from 2003 to 2012. Their clinicopathological data were extracted and analysed.
Results: The number of admitted patients increased over the years, with cervical, uterine and ovary cancers as the top three gynaecological cancers. They accounted for 92.13% of total gynaecological cancers. The peak age of gynaecological cancers was 40-49 years, which accounted for 34.02% (3132/9207) of all patients, followed by 50-59 years (26.64%, 2453/9207). Most (72.46%, 3062/4226) cervical cancer patients aged 30-49 years, compared with 40-59 years for uterine cancers (69.77%, 1768/2534) and 40-59 years for ovarian cancers (58.30%, 1004/1722). Patients in their 20th account for 4.43% (408/9 207) of total cancers, with in which cervical and ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Patients under 20 years of age accounted for only 0.98% (90/9207) of total cancers, with ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Patients over 60 years accounted for 12.90% (1188/9207) of total cancers, with uterine and ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Most patients were at an early stage of cancers when they were admitted to the hospital.
Conclusion: Hospitalized patients with gynecologic cancers increase over years. Cervical, uterine and ovary cancers remain to be a focus of treatment. Peak age of those cancers varies.
