“…9 An increasing HRT prescription rate followed, likely due, at least in part, to the assumed reductive or protective effects of a reduced dose of oestrogen in combination with added progesterone. 10,11 The profoundly steep rise seen in the United States was not a feature of temporal patterns in Europe. Instead, incidence trends in many European populations increased for several decades up to the early 1980s, [12][13][14] with subsequent declines in several countries.…”

Geographic and temporal variations in cancer of the corpus uteri: Incidence and mortality in pre- and postmenopausal women in Europe

Corpus uteri cancer is the fourth most common neoplasm in women in Europe and the tenth most common cause of cancer death. We examined geographic and temporal variations in corpus uteri cancer incidence and mortality rates in the age groups 25-49 and 50-74 in 22 European countries. The disease is considerably less common in premenopausal women, with incidence and mortality rates decreasing throughout Europe and mortality declines more marked in western and southern European countries. Incidence rates among postmenopausal women are highest in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden and Slovenia and lowest in France and the United Kingdom. Increasing incidence trends in this age group are observed in the Nordic countries (except Denmark) and in the United Kingdom. Some increases are also seen in eastern (Slovakia) and southern Europe (Spain and Slovenia), while relatively stable or modestly decreasing trends are observed in Italy and most western European countries. Postmenopausal mortality rates are systematically higher in eastern Europe, with death rates in the Ukraine, Latvia, Czech Republic, Russia and Belarus 2-3 times those seen in western Europe. Declining mortality trends are seen in most populations, though in certain Eastern European countries, the declines began rather recently, during the 1980s. In Belarus and Russia, recent postmenopausal death rates are stable or increasing. The rates are adjusted for misclassification of uterine cancer deaths but remain unadjusted for hysterectomy, and where there is an apparent levelling off of incidence or mortality rates recently, rising prevalence of hysterectomy cannot be discounted as an explanation. However, the trends by age group can be viewed in light of several established risk factors for endometrial cancer that are highly prevalent and most likely changing with time. These are discussed, as are the prospects for preventing the disease. ' 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

“…An analysis of data from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Program in the USA showed that most of the decrease in the age specific rates up to 1986 were in 45±64 year old women, with no clear trend in older or younger women (4,5) . Examination of the age-standardized incidence rates in Canada shows that for women aged 35±64, incidence has been decreasing since 1978.…”

The objectives of this study were first, to describe the trends in rates of cancer of the corpus uteri in Canada between 1969 and 1990 after adjustment for previous hysterectomy and second, to assess the role of improved diagnosis in recent periods. Cases were defined as women of ages 65 years and older with a diagnosis of cancer of the corpus uteri. Rates were calculated using national data and adjusted to reflect previous hysterectomy. A chart review was performed at a regional cancer centre to obtain information on stage of the disease, duration of the symptoms and initial method of diagnosis. Age‐specific rates, adjusted for previous hysterectomy, showed increases in women aged 70–74, 75–79 and 80–84 years. The cohort analysis revealed that the 1915–19 birth cohort experienced a high incidence of cancer of the corpus uteri in women aged 55–69 years at diagnosis. Stage I disease was more common in recent periods at the regional centre (71.1%, 74.1% and 92.3% for 1969–72, 1980–81 and 1990–91; χ2 for linear trend 10.676, P = 0.001). In 1990–91, 6.7% of cases were identified by endometrial biopsy. In conclusion, incidence adjusted for hysterectomy prevalence is increasing in women aged 65–84 years in Canada. There is increased risk for women 55–69 years of age born in 1915–19 cohort. There is weak evidence of improved diagnosis in elderly women in recent periods.

Background. This study used data from the population‐based Connecticut Tumor Registry, a unique resource for examining secular trends in cancer incidence rates since 1935. Methods. Trends in average annual age‐standardized incidence rates (ASRs) for invasive cancers in Connecticut residents were examined from 1935‐1939 to 1990‐1991. Results. Trends in ASRs were complex, with some sites showing large increases but others only small changes since 1935‐1939. Declines were evident for stomach and cervical since 1935‐1939 and for colorectal cancer after 1980‐1984. Since 1965‐1969, when 2% or less of cancers were ascertained only by death certificates, exclusion of cancers of the breast and prostate (strongly affected by increased screening), smoking‐related cancers, and cancers of other sites with identified causes (melanoma and human immunodeficiency virus‐related cancers), resulted in little or no increase in the ASRs for all other sites combined. For young (20–44‐year‐old) adults, unexplained increases since 1965‐1969 were limited to testicular cancer and Hodgkin's disease. Conclusions. Reducing cancer incidence rates will require expanded primary prevention efforts (mainly involving behavioral changes) and more etiologic research on common cancers whose causes are poorly understood (e. g., breast and prostate cancer) and rarer cancers showing unexplained recent increases (i. e., testicular cancer and Hodgkin's disease).
