Incidence trends for epithelial peritoneal, ovarian, and fallopian tube cancer during 1999-2016: a retrospective study based on the Korean National Cancer Incidence Database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), ovarian cancer (OC), and fallopian tube cancer (FTC) are considered as a single disease group. As knowledge of the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of peritoneal, ovarian, and fallopian tube (POFT) cancer grows, the tendencies in OC diagnosis are changing. We investigate the incidence and clinical characteristics of epithelial POFT based on cancer site and histologic type.

Methods

Data from the Korea Central Cancer Registry for the period between 1999 and 2016 were analyzed. The incidence rates and annual percent changes (APCs) for each tumor site were reported.

Results

Among 27,768 women with cancer, 1,086 (3.91%) had PPC, 25,847 (93.08%) had OC, and 835 (3.01%) had FTC. Age-standardized rates increased from 0.05 to 0.
