The incidences of gynaecological and female breast neoplasms in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and in various other developing and developed countries for the period 1958 - 1980 are analysed and compared. In PNG gynaecological and breast carcinomas constituted 24.5 and 9% respectively of all neoplasms registered in females. The commonest gynaecological neoplasms registered were cervical carcinoma (62%) followed by carcinoma of the ovary (20.3%), carcinoma of corpus uteri (6.5%), carcinoma of the vulva (5%), choriocarcinoma (4.7%) and carcinoma of the vagina (1.2%). The mean annual incidence rates for carcinoma of the cervix was 3/100,000, for carcinoma of the ovary 1/100,000 and for carcinoma of the corpus uteri 0.32/100,000 females respectively; for carcinoma of the breast it was 1.26/100,000. The mean age of patients with these neoplasms was less than in developed countries and in most developing countries. Possible reasons for the low incidence rates are presented.
对1958年至1980年期间巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）以及其他多个发展中国家和发达国家的妇科和女性乳腺肿瘤发病率进行了分析和比较。在巴布亚新几内亚，妇科和乳腺癌分别占女性登记的所有肿瘤的24.5%和9%。登记的最常见妇科肿瘤是宫颈癌（62%），其次是卵巢癌（20.3%）、子宫体癌（6.5%）、外阴癌（5%）、绒毛膜癌（4.7%）和阴道癌（1.2%）。宫颈癌的年均发病率分别为每10万名女性中有3例，卵巢癌为每10万名女性中有1例，子宫体癌为每10万名女性中有0.32例；乳腺癌为每10万名女性中有1.26例。这些肿瘤患者的平均年龄低于发达国家和大多数发展中国家。文中还提出了发病率较低的可能原因。
