Incidence and treatment outcomes of uterine cervical cancer in Korea 1999-2018 from the national cancer registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the incidence and survival outcomes of uterine cervical cancer during 1999-2018.

Methods

Patients who were diagnosed with cervical cancer during 1999-2018 were identified in the Korea Central Cancer Registry. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) and annual percent changes (APCs) were calculated. Survival rates by histology, year of diagnosis (1999-2008 vs. 2009-2018), stage, and age at diagnosis were analyzed.

Results

The absolute incidence of cervical cancer decreased over 20 years from 4,488 in 1999 to 3,500 in 2018, with an APC of -3.42% (p<0.0001). While ASR of squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) more than halved from 13.27 per 100,000 in 1999 to 6.16 in 2018 (APC, -4.04%), adenocarcinoma continued to rise (ASR, 1.30 per 100,000 to 1.92; APC, 1
