Evolution of endometrial cancer incidence patterns in Hong Kong: A three-decade analysis with future projections.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of endometrial cancer incidence trends in Hong Kong over the past three decades. It aims to evaluate the impact of demographic shifts and epidemiological factors, including age, birth cohort, and diagnosis period, on the incidence rates. The study also projects future trends in endometrial cancer cases up to 2030 and assesses the contributions of these factors using a detailed decomposition approach.

Material and methods

The analysis is based on endometrial cancer data obtained from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry. Age-period-cohort (APC) modeling was utilized to investigate the effects of different age groups, historical periods, and birth cohorts on the changing incidence patterns. The study projects future trends using
