Objective To investigate admission patterns of patients with gynecologic cancers over a ten year period, which will provide a basis for further epidemiological studies. Methods We reviewed medical records of patients with gynecologic cancers who were admitted to the West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University from 2003 to 2012. Their clinicopathological data were extracted and analysed. Results The number of admitted patients increased over the years， with cervical, uterine and ovary cancers as the top three gynaecological cancers. They accounted for 92.13% of total gynaecological cancers. The peak age of gynaecological cancers was 40-49 years, which accounted for 34.02% （3 132/9 207） of all patients, followed by 50-59 years (26.64%, 2 453/9 207）. Most (72.46%, 3 062/4 226） cervical cancer patients aged 30-49 years, compared with 40-59 years for uterine cancers (69.77%, 1 768/2 534） and 40-59 years for ovarian cancers (58.30%, 1 004/1 722）. Patients in their 20th account for 4.43%（408/9 207） of total cancers, with in which cervical and ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Patients under 20 years of age accounted for only 0.98% （90/9 207） of total cancers, with ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Patients over 60 years accounted for 12.90% （1 188/9 207）of total cancers, with uterine and ovarian cancers as the most common pathological type. Most patients were at an early stage of cancers when they were admitted to the hospital. Conclusion Hospitalized patients with gynecologic cancers increase over years. Cervical, uterine and ovary cancers remain to be a focus of treatment. Peak age of those cancers varies.
