ABSTRACT

Introduction About 20% of visceral cancers in women are of the genital tract. The top three genital tract malignancies are uterine, ovarian, and cervical cancers. The lifetime risk of developing these cancers in an industrialized country is respectively 1 in 38, 1 in 68, and 1 in 135. Unfortunately, many women are not treated according to the guidelines, which results in a poor survival. A lack of surgical skills is the main reason. This chapter gives an overview of the different treatment strategies for local, locoregional, and metastatic genital tract cancers in senior women.
