Abstract
Reproductive cancers, including cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers, constitute a significant health challenge for women in India. This cross-sectional survey aims to comprehensively assess the landscape of reproductive cancer care among women in India, exploring access, awareness, and barriers to timely diagnosis and treatment. The study highlights challenges in delivering care for reproductive cancers among women in India.
A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, involving a representative sample of women from four diverse geographical regions, urban and rural settings, and varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Structured interviews were conducted, and questionnaires were utilised to collect data on participants' awareness of reproductive cancers, utilisation of healthcare facilities, and experiences related to access to cancer care. The study adopted a convenient sampling approach and captured data from 509 women diagnosed with reproductive cancer. The collected data were analysed using SPSS 25 version.
The study findings revealed multifaceted implications of reproductive cancers on women's health. The survey identified one-fourth of the respondents having ovarian cancer and 23.4% were diagnosed with cervix cancer. One-third of the study respondents were diagnosed with breast cancer and 18% had other reproductive system cancer. Preliminary findings reveal varying levels of awareness regarding reproductive cancer care, with regional disparities influencing the adoption of preventive measures such as vaccinations for cervical cancer and mammography for breast cancer. The survey also assesses the prevalence of risk factors contributing to the incidence of reproductive cancers. The results of this survey contribute to the ongoing efforts to formulate evidence-based strategies for improving reproductive cancer care and reducing the burden of these cancers on women's health in India.
