[Epidemiology of malignant tumors of the female genital organs].
Incidence, risk factors, prognosis and 5-year survival of the malignant tumors in the female genital organs, except the trophoblastic diseases, were described. The uterine cervical cancer is the most in Japan, but is already one the controlling cancer, though prognosis of the cervical adenocarcinoma is still poor. Incidence of the endometrial cancer is increasing. Ovarian malignant tumor is one of silent diseases and their 5-year survival rate is very low. Significant of the annual population screening against them was emphasized.
