Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Endomtrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer in females in the United States and also the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic cancer. It has an incidence rate of 24.4 per 100,000 (CI- 24.2-24.7) in all races. In 2008 (the most recent year numbers, as per CDC, are available) -
- 43,134 women in the United States were diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
- 7,675 women in the United States died from uterine cancer. The death rate is 4.2 per 100,000 (CI- 4.1-4.3), 8th amongst the top 10 cancers in females.
Endometrial cancer occurs in both premenopausal (25%) and postmenopausal women (75%). The most commonly affected age group is between 50 and 59 years of age. Most tumors are caught early and thus prognosis is good and morbidity is declining.
