The purpose of the present study was to assess the ovarian cancer incidence rate among women of reproductive
age in Kyrgyzstan. Sources of data were records of all patients who were first diagnosed as suffering from
ovarian cancer at reproductive age (15-49) during the period 1999-2006. Descriptive and analytical methods of
onco-epidemiology were applied. It was established that the ovarian cancer incidence among general female
population of reproductive age equaled 4.3±0.3 per 100,000 population. Incidence rate was increasing in dynamics.
Average age of patients in this category was 37.9±0.5. Analysis of age indicators demonstrated that incidence
rate was higher within later reproductive age (40-49) at 11.2±0.60/0000. Incidence among the two main ethnic
population groups was analyzed: Kyrgyz and Russian. Whereas rates appeared to be increasing in the former,
the latter demonstrated paradoxical decrease.
