title: [Malignant neoplasms of the breast and female genital organs and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix in East Germany 1986. Statistical data of the national cancer register].
abstract: 29,105 cases of cancer in the female population of the GDR have been registered 1986. The five most frequent localizations (breast, colon, uterine cervix, stomach, uterine corpus) had 15,130 cases (53.1%). The number of breast cancers continuously increased, whereas since the seventies a decrease of female genital cancers could be observed. 44 per cent of all cancers in the female had to be correlated to breast and genital organs. 96 per cent of cancers of breast and genital organs were histologically proved. More than 67 per cent of tumors of this group could be allotted to stage I or II. Cancers of breast and female genital organs participated with 5,883 deaths e.g. 33.2% of all female cancer deaths in the GDR 1986.
