Differential trends in the rising incidence of endometrial cancer by type: data from a UK population-based registry from 1994 to 2006

Abstract

Increased incidence in endometrial cancer is confined to type 1 cancers, seen most in the 60-79 age groups and across all socioeconomic quintiles. Survival in type 2 cancer has decreased significantly. Urgent research is needed to investigate prevention strategies in type 1 and improve therapy in type 2 cancers.
