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.
