Abstract

Cancer diseases of female genital system emerge as a result of continues influence of risk factors and heritage base. Commonly accepted risk factors are viruses, sexual intercourses without protection, early sexual relations- where the contact in the period under age 18 is highly risk, smoking (consumption of tobacco) and promiscuities males. Beside mentioned risk factors, we are exploring whether the life conditions and chronically stress are specific risk factors for isolated community. Serbian community in area of central Kosovo counts around 10.000 women in reproductive and menopausal stage. In the period of last 10 years, this specific community was exposed to the aftermaths of Nato aggression in 1999, meaning bombardment with uranium ammunition, poor conditions, refugee exile and return, chronically stress, period without adequate health protection and permanent feeling of life in hostile environment. The results were catastrophic : 5 invasive carcinomas of cervix in female in postmenopausal (56, 71, 50, 76, 54, years of age), 1 squamocellulare carcinoma of vagina (76 years of age) and one squamocellulare carcinoma of vulvae (57 years of age), both in postmenopausal period. In reproductive stage in 3 female H SIL was diagnosed (36, 42, 31 years of age). In three cases, as result of explorative curettage adeno cancer of endometrium was diagnosed (72, 66, 64 years of age).
