Materials andMethods: Frequency and age-specific incidence rates of breast and gynecologic cancers in Iran are calculatedbased on the dataset of the National Cancer Registry of Iran in 2005. Results: Gynecologic and breast canceraccounted for 7.6% and 25.6% of total cancer cases, respectively. Ovarian cancer was the most frequentgynecologic cancer followed by endometrium. Endometrial cancer revealed the highest age specific incidencerate followed by ovary (after 59 years). Conclusions: Regarding disease burden, breast and gynecologic casesaccount for 33.4% of total cancer patients. The age specific incidence rate is a useful guide in epidemiologic andfuture plans.}, keywords = {Ovarian Cancer,cervical cancer,Endometrial cancer,gynecologic cancer,Iran}, url = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_28941.html}, eprint = {https://journal.waocp.org/article_28941_03282c1064dac0728c6a781e9c94a0e2.pdf} }
