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.engAdolescentAdultAge FactorsEthnic GroupsFemaleHumansIncidenceKyrgyzstan --epidemiologyMiddle AgedOvarian Neoplasms --epidemiologyProspective StudiesRegistries --statistics & numerical dataReproductive HistoryRisk FactorsTime FactorsYoung AdultJournal Article
