Key facts
Cancer Research UK CancerStats
http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/types/uterus/
Statistics and information about uterine cancer risk factors, symptoms and treatment, aimed at health professionals, provided by Cancer Research UK.
GLOBOCAN 2012 and other international cancer databases
http://globocan.iarc.fr/Default.aspx
The GLOBOCAN project provides contemporary estimates of the incidence of, mortality and prevalence from major types of cancer, at a national level, for 184 countries of the world. Current estimates are for 2012.
The website also provides links to other international cancer databases and resources including Cancer Incidence in 5 Continents - access to detailed information on the incidence of cancer recorded by regional or national cancer registries worldwide and the European Cancer Observatory (ECO) - a one-stop web-based tool for accessing, analysing and downloading European cancer data.
Reports
This page reports trust-level variations in 30-day post-operative mortality for endometrial cancer.
This report presents analyses of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROM) data, offering a descriptive summary of responses to a pilot of patient reported outcome measures for gynaecological cancers and provides a much needed insight into the health and wellbeing of women living with and beyond womb cancer.
This report presents the latest time trends, trends by age, and regional variations in incidence, mortality and survival for malignant uterine tumours in the UK. There is also a separate section on these cases stratified according to their main morphological groups. This report has been produced by Public Health England’s Knowledge and Intelligence Team (East Midlands) (formerly part of Trent Cancer Registry), the NCIN’s lead for gynaecological cancers, on behalf of the NCIN Gynaecological Site Specific Clinical Reference Group (SSCRG). These data should be of interest to all those involved in the commissioning and delivery of services to prevent, diagnose, and treat uterine cancer.
This initial report on major surgical resections in England presents the percentage of NHS treated cancer patients who received a major resection as part of their treatment. The report contains results for thirteen cancer sites, including cervix, ovary and uterus, and covers patients diagnosed during 2004-2006 who were followed up to 2007. Percentages are presented by sex, age, deprivation quintile and cancer network, with funnel plots depicting both percentages and indirectly age-standardised ratios by cancer network. Cancer networks have been assigned by the residence of patients at time of diagnosis. These data provide a basis to instigate further exploration of major surgical resections for cancer patients and to encourage improved recording and sharing of data to allow further analyses to be produced.
