Introduction: Gynecological malignancies are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among women. The introduction of dedicated gynecologic oncology surgeries at tertiary care centers aims to enhance the surgical management and outcomes for such conditions. This study provides insights into the patterns and trends of gynecological malignancies following the initiation of these specialized services. This study aimed to analyze the profile, trends, and outcomes of gynecological malignancies treated surgically at a tertiary care center.

Methods: This retrospective observational study included 70 women who underwent surgery for gynecological malignancies between 2020 and 2024. Data were extracted from the hospital's electronic database and analyzed to assess trends, malignancy types, and surgical outcomes. Inclusion criteria encompassed all women operated on for gynecological malignancies at the center, while patients referred elsewhere for advanced-stage treatment were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed to identify trends and variations.

Results: The number of surgeries increased significantly from 10 in 2020 to 25 in 2024, reflecting a 150% rise in caseloads (p < 0.01). Ovarian cancer was the most common malignancy (40%), followed by cervical (33%) and endometrial cancers (20%). Proportions of malignancies remained stable over the years (p > 0.05). The findings highlight the growing demand for gynecologic oncology services, underscoring the critical need for early detection and preventive measures.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates an upward trend in the surgical management of gynecological malignancies, particularly ovarian and cervical cancers. These findings emphasize the need for sustained efforts in early diagnosis, public health education, and preventive strategies to address the persistent burden of these malignancies.
