Epidemiological trends of women's cancers from 1990 to 2019 at the global, regional, and national levels: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Every year around the world, more than 2 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer and genital tract cancers. However, there are rare studies comprehensively describing the global and regional trends of incidence and mortality of women's cancers.

Methods

In this study, female patients with breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer worldwide from 1990 to 2019 were involved.

The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to assess the changing trend of ca
