目的：提供妇科癌症的范围和流行病学的最新概况。资料来源：回顾PubMed 2005-2018年的文章，以及来自疾病控制和预防中心、国家宫颈癌联盟和美国癌症协会的数据。结论：妇科癌症包括任何起源于女性生殖系统的癌症；宫颈、卵巢、子宫、阴道、外阴和输卵管(非常罕见)，每个癌症都以癌症起始的身体部位命名。除了外阴癌和子宫内膜癌外，这些癌症的总发病率随着时间的推移而下降，但种族差异仍然存在。护理实践的意义：护士在教育患者认识预防措施和可改变的生活方式和行为的重要性方面发挥着重要作用。同样，护士在帮助协调患者护理方面具有独特的地位，从而提高了患者的满意度。护士可以参与并为妇科研究做出贡献，并影响政治变革，使那些受到妇科癌症影响的人受益。(C)2019 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Objective: To provide a current overview of the scope and epidemiology of gynecologic cancers.Data Sources: A review of articles dated 2005-2018 from PubMed, as well as data from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Cervical Cancer Coalition, and the American Cancer Society.Conclusion: Gynecologic cancers include any cancer that originates in a woman's reproductive system; cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, and fallopian tube (which is very rare), each named for the body part in which the cancer commences. The overall incidence of these cancers has decreased with time, except for vulvar and endometrial cancers, but racial disparities still exist.Implications for Nursing Practice: Nurses play a significant role in educating patients on the importance of preventative measures and modifiable lifestyles and behaviors. Likewise, nurses are in a unique position to help coordinate patients' care, thereby improving patient satisfaction. Nurses can participate and contribute to gynecologic research and influence political change to benefit those affected by gynecologic cancers. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
