“…Gynecological tumor is an important cause of death globally and accounted for approximately 10.35% of cancer-related deaths. [ 37 ] Among the various risk factors of female reproductive tumors, vitamin D could not be ignored. Previously, there were studies stating that vitamin D deficiency could increase the risk of some specific gynecological tumors, such as ovarian cancer, uterine fibroids, and endometrial cancer.…”

“…The ASR of endometrial cancer, from a population-based study in the Songkhla Province, was lower than in Korea [20] Taiwan [21], Romania [22], Turkey [23], Croatia [24], and Netherland [25], which were 7.0, 7.5, 8.2, 10.4, 11.4, and 20.1 per 100,000 women-years, respectively, but higher than in; Tunisia [26] and mainland China [27], which were 3.1 and 5.0 per 100,000 women-years, respectively. The annual percentage change of uterine cancer within the Songkhla Province was; 4.6% per year, which was lower than Tunisia [26] (7.1% per year), but higher than Turkey [23] and the Netherlands [25] (2.4% and 3.4% per year, respectively). However, these studies reported incidence between 2003 and 2013, in this study we reported recently in 2016.…”

Objective To define the present incidence of uterine cancer and the trends of incidence in the future. Additional, subgroup analysis in religion and socio-demographic factors will be analyzed. Methods The data of uterine cancer from The Songkhla Cancer Registry between; 1989 and 2016, was extracted. The population denominators of Songkhla Province were referred from the information of the population censuses surveyed by the National Statistical Office. The incidence was estimate by; the age specific rate, and analyzed in trend incidence using Jointpoint and Age-period-cohort; APC regression models and trend projection in 2017–2030 using by Jointpoint, the NordPred and APC model. The comparison of incidence according to habitat and religion were unpaired t-test. Results The incidence of uterine cancer in Songkhla Province increased from 1.5, to 5.3 per 100,000 women-years in 2016, and 8 per 100,000 women-years in 2030. The incidence was more in urban areas and in Buddhists. Conclusion The incidence of uterine cancer is increasing. The policy, which promotes protective factors and control risk factors, would decrease incidence of endometrial cancer, and other estrogen dependent cancers additional to chronic diseases from the cardiovascular system.

“…In our study, the incidence of leiomyosarcoma was calculated to be 0.08%, which is relatively lower than that reported in other studies. There are only a limited number of studies in Turkey regarding the incidence of occult leiomyosarcoma; however, a previous study in Turkey has reported an annual leiomyosarcoma incidence of 0.26% [22].…”

Objectives:To determine the frequency of occult uterine leiomyosarcomas following hysterectomies and myomectomies performed for benign reasons at our clinic and to draw comparisons with similar studies in the literature. Material and methods:All hysterectomies and myomectomies that have been performed for benign reasons at our clinic between 2010 and 2017 were retrospectively examined via the hospital's information system and the patients that were found to have leiomyosarcomas were analysed. The incidence of occult uterine leiomyosarcoma per 1000 surgeries at our clinic was calculated using the Wilson score interval.Results: A total of 6,173 hysterectomies were performed, and occult uterine leiomyosarcoma was identified in 5 patients. The incidence of occult uterine leiomyosarcoma was calculated to be 0.08% (95% CI 0.03-0.018%). Only 1 of the 771 patients who underwent myomectomy was identified with occult uterine leiomyosarcoma, making its incidence in myomectomy 0.12% (95% CI 0.02-0.073%). When all the patients are considered, occult uterine leiomyosarcoma was identified in 6 of the 6,944 patients, and the general incidence of occult uterine leiomyosarcoma was calculated as 0.08% (95% CI 0.03-0.018%). Conclusions:In our study, the incidence of occult uterine sarcoma following myomectomy and hysterectomy was found to be lower than that reported in the literature. The reason for this lower incidence includes not only genetic causes and racial differences but also preoperative imaging, endometrial and cervical sampling that is performed on every patient.
