چکیده
• More than 71,000 women in the United States were diagnosed with a cancer affecting the reproductive organs. • More than 27,000 women in the United States died from some form of gynecologic cancer. • Uterine (endometrial) cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer. • Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecologic cancer. • Cervical cancer was once the leading cause of death for women in the United States; however, during the past four decades, incidence and mortality have declined significantly. • Other cancers of the female reproductive system are less common. Vulvar cancer, for example, accounts for only 4 percent of cancers in the female reproductive organs. Vaginal cancer accounts for approximately 3 percent of cancers of the female reproductive system.
