Abstract
Gynecological cancers are among the most common cancers in women and hence an important
public health issue. Due to the lack of cancer awareness, variable pathology, and
dearth of proper screening facilities in developing countries such as India, most
women report at advanced stages, adversely affecting the prognosis and clinical outcomes.
Ovarian cancer has emerged as one of the most common malignancies affecting women
in India and has shown an increase in the incidence rates over the years. Although
cervical cancer is on a declining trend, it remains the second most common cancer
in women after breast cancer. Many researchers in India have published important data
in the field of gynecologic oncology, covering all domains such as basic sciences,
preventive oncology, pathology, radiological imaging, and clinical outcomes. This
work has given us an insight into the in-depth understanding of these cancers as well
as the demographics and survival rates in the Indian population. This aim of this
review is to discuss the important studies done in India for all gynecological cancers.
