This chapter concerns cancers that affect the female reproductive organs, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, and vulva. For each type of cancer the chapter covers the epidemiology, incidence, associated risk factors, presenting complaints, methods of diagnosis, grades and staging, and treatment. Where possible, monitoring procedures for prevention are explained. The chapter also includes an overview of radiotherapy, including dose and duration and treatment planning. Indications for chemotherapy for specific cancers are also covered.

Gynecology is the medical practice dealing with the health of the Female reproductive system and breast . A Gynecologycal disorder is a condition which affects the female reproductive organs, namely the breast and organs in the abdominal and pelvic area including the womb, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, vagina and vulva. A vaginal disease is a pathological condition that affect part or all of the vagina. The term Leucorrhea should be restricted to those conditions when the normal vaginal secretions is increased in amount which is described as swetapradara in Ayurvedic classics. In samhita all gynacologycal disorder comes under the headings of Yonivyapada.

An important condition to understand etiopathogenesis of gynecological diseases is improvement of examination of fetal morphogenesis concerning the urinary system and other organs. For example, chronic pelvic ache can result from a wide range of disorders: endometriosis, myoma, commissures, cystitis, colitis, pathology of the femoral joint and diseases of the pelvic bones. Meanwhile the majority of these diseases can be diagnosed, prevented or treated during antenatal period. 50 specimens of human fetuses were examined by means of a complex of morphological methods in order to study morphogenesis of the internal female reproductive organs at the beginning of the uterine period. The article deals with the features of the development of paramesonephric ducts and their derivatives at the beginning of the fetal period of human ontogenesis. At the beginning of the fetal period the position and shape of the fallopian tubes are found to be caused by close correlations with the adjacent organs and structures. From three to six narrow portions are formed along the uterine tube. The morphometric parameters of the ampulla of the fallopian tubes vary depending on the age of the fetus.

The ultrastructure of reproductive organs of pine, spruce, larch and ginkgo was investigated. It was found that the male reproductive organs possess similar organization. The most considerable change in the ultrastructure of the microsporocytes occur in meiosis. Sporoderm is being laid at the late tetrad stage. The cells of the male gameto-phyte are distinguished according to the metabolic activity of the or- ganells. They are most weakly developed in the spermiogenic cell. Ta-petum of the gymnosperms is of the periplasmodic - secretorial type. The Ubisch bodies which possess similar structure in the types investigated but are specific in details in different species are produced in tapetum.Parietal and subepidermal layers are distinguished for their high metabolic activity and are capable of the autonomous photosynthesis. Female reproductive organs differ more greatly in their struture and have the most complicated structure in primitive groups. On the first stages of their formation the inner cells of nucellus are transformed into the nucellar tapetum in which the structures similar to the Ubisch bodies taking part in the formation of the sporoderm of female gametophyte have been found.
