Trends of Ovarian Cancer Incidence by Histotype and Race/Ethnicity in the United States 1992–2019
There is no doubt that ovarian cancer is changing, with different types becoming more prevalent and altered ethnic distribution.
This retrospective survey took information from the US SEER-12 program over the period 1992-2019 looking at the trend in ovarian cancer incidence in four ethnic groups; Asian, Hispanic, Non-Hispanic black, and Non-Hispanic white.
Although high-grade serous ovarian cancer remains the commonest, there has been a significant decrease in the incidence, of 6%, mostly in the white community. Clear cell cancer has increased especially in Asians but also across the board.
