摘　　要：Approximately 1:4 of all cancers in women in developing countries(excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) is a gynaecological cancer. The gynaecological cancer burden in developing countries is huge primarily due to the high incidence and mortality of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer accounts for over 60% of the gynaecological cancer burden in developing countries despite being preventable by current technologies. This is due to the absence of effective nationally organized screening programmes in most developing countries. Institution of such programmes, therefore, has the potential to dramatically reduce gynaecological cancer burden in these countries. Subsidized human papilloma virus(HPV) vaccine and HPV typing as well as cheap screening techniques such as visual inspection aided with acetic acid hold the key to effective prevention of cervical cancer in these countries. This is because a significant proportion of patients in developing countries are unable to access and avail themselves of the few available preventive, diagnostic and treatment services because of poverty. Although, advocacy and the political will to invest in the development of human resources and healthcare infrastructure appear critical to gynaecological cancer control and reducing the burden of disease in many developing countries, the proposition assumes that resources are truly available for this investment. This may not be true. Many developing countries rely on foreign aids for developmental programmes and these aids have dwindled significantly with the current global economic meltdown. 关键词：妇科癌症治疗方法临床分析
