[A cross-sectional study on the promotion and execution of "the practiced guidelines for the management of common malignant gynecological tumors"].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the promotion and execution of "the practice guidelines for the management of common malignant gynecological tumors (draft)" (guidelines).


METHODS
Cross sectional study was applied. All obstetricians and gynecologists (Obs/Gyns) who attended the Chinese Medical Association's Senior Workshop for Department Chairmen of Obstetrics and Gynecology were included.


RESULTS
Three hundred and fifty Obs/Gyns were inquired, while two hundred and eighty-one questionnaires were available. Ninety percent (253/281) of Obs/Gyns declared that they had read the guidelines, and 96.4% (271/281) of them thought it necessary to establish the guidelines. In those Obs/Gyns who read the guidelines, 87.7% (222/253) of them managed gynecological tumors according to the guidelines. In those who did not read the guidelines, most were obstetricians or worked in special hospitals, while all gynecological oncologists read the guidelines. In addition, there were still many suggestions on the guidelines.


CONCLUSIONS
The guidelines has been playing a role in the management of common malignant gynecological tumors and need to be revised regularly.
