Cancers of the endometrium, ovary and cervix share certain characteristics. However, etio-pathogenesis of all the gynecological malignancies is yet to be explored. Even though the etiologic factors are generally environmental, the exact cause of each gynecological cancer is not known (Senate Community Affairs References Committee, Commonwealth of Australia, 2006). Worldwide, cancer incidence rates vary widely between different geographic regions and ethnic groups. There is a need to study the epidemiological factors that may be responsible for the variations in cancer risks. In India, the documentation of the epidemiological factors for all the gynecological malignancies is scarce and merits.
