Incidence Rates of Gynecologic Cancers in the U.S. Active Duty Military Population.

CONCLUSIONS: U.S. Active Duty women exhibited a similar age-adjusted rate of gynecologic cancer as the general US population. There was suboptimal overlap between the Automated Central Tumor Registry and Military Health System Data Repository databases, indicating the necessity of using both databases in order to obtain reliable data in the active duty population. This study is the current best estimate of a baseline rate of gynecologic cancer in U.S. active duty military women. This rate might change over time as women's roles and exposures in recent and future military conflicts evolve. PMID: 32495838 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
