Epidemiology of cancer of the female genital organs in Yugoslavia

V Sulović, V Kesić

Abstract

The descriptive epidemiological method was applied. In the preparation of the data, basic statistical procedures were used. Data were obtained from Slovenian Cancer Registry and Yugoslav Statistics Institute, and studied over the period from 1971 to 1985. In terms of rate of occurrence, malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs rank first in all cases of cancer, with 20.94%. Uterine cervix and corpus and ovary, are always in the ten leading primary cancer sites. Malignant neoplasms of the female genital organs comprise about 2% of all causes of death in females and just over 15% of all deaths from cancer. Cervical cancer has an average incidence rate of 18.56, while mortality rate is 4.67 per 100,000 women. Both incidence and mortality decreased throughout the investigated period. Other malignant neoplasms of the uterus appear in 15.45 cases per 100,000 and this rate shows a slightly increasing trend. However, the mortality rate is 3.77 and this shows a distinct decrease, in all parts of the country. The average incidence rate for cancer of the ovary is 12.61, decreasing slowly. Malignant neoplasms of the ovary have the mortality rate of 3.94, which has been constantly rising. Malignant neoplasms of the other genital org...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
