Study shows incidence rates of aggressive subtypes of uterine cancer rising

(NIH/National Cancer Institute) New findings from a study by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, show that US incidence rates for aggressive subtypes of uterine cancer rose rapidly among women ages 30 to 79 from 2000 to 2015. The findings also reveal racial disparities, including higher incidence of these aggressive subtypes and poorer survival -- irrespective of subtype and cancer stage -- among non-Hispanic black women than among women in other racial/ethnic groups.
