Trends in cervical cancer incidence rates by age, race/ethnicity, histological subtype, and stage at diagnosis in the United States
Preventive Medicine Apr 19, 2019
Islami F, et al. - In the United States (U.S.), researchers analyzed contemporary trends in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) incidence rates according to age group, race/ethnicity, and stage at diagnosis following accounting for hysterectomy. They used incidence data (1999–2015) from the U.S. Cancer Statistics Incidence Analytic Database. Using National Health Interview Survey data (2000–2015), they determined hysterectomy prevalence. Among non-Hispanic whites, they reported increasing incidence rate of cervical adenocarcinoma, driven by increases in ages 40–59 years. In several subpopulations, incidence trends for AC were increasing or stabilized, and earlier declines for SCC were reduced. This was suggestive of the significance of intensifying efforts to reverse the increasing trends and further attenuate cervical cancer burden in the U.S.
