A descriptive study on mortality by gynecological cancer based on death certificates of the former State of Guanabara during the period 1965/73 was performed. Age, marital status and residency at death were analysed in relation to the site of cancer, according to the International Classification of Causes of Death. Apart from the peculiar age distribution of each gynecological malignant growth, interesting patterns were observed in reIation to marital status and geographical distribution revealing, particularly, clustering in the poorer areas for cancer of the cervix and, in the richer aeras, for breast câncer
