This undated microscope photo made available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the results of a Papanicolaou test, or Pap test, with a positive indication for the presence of uterine cervical adenocarcinoma, classified as Stage-III. According to a study published in the journal JAMA Oncology on Thursday, May 5, 2022, researchers found that overall uterine cancer death rates in the U.S., increased by 1.8% per year from 2010 to 2017.
The aggressive kind — called Type 2 endometrial cancer — is more difficult to treat. By the end of the study period, it accounted for about 20% of cases and 45% of deaths. “This allows us to focus our efforts on specific areas that could potentially have a bigger impact on mortality,” Soliman said.An estimated 65,950 new cases of uterine cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year and 12,550 women are expected to die from it. Irregular bleeding can be a warning sign, but there is no recommended screening test.
Annual rates increased 3.4% among Asian women, 3.5% among Black women, 6.7% among Hispanic women and 1.5% among white women.
