         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.
