  • Title: [Epidemiology of uterine cancers].
    Author: Sasco AJ.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 2001 Sep 01; 51(13):1408-12. PubMed ID: 11601068.
    Abstract:
    Uterine cancers comprise 2 distinct pathological entities: cancer of the cervix and cancer of the corpus. They differ both in descriptive and etiologic epidemiology. Cervical cancer is more frequent in the developing world, is decreasing in terms of incidence and even more mortality in many countries and has essentially a viral etiology, being linked to human papilloma viruses. Cancer of the uterine corpus is more frequent in the developed world, is rather stable in terms of incidence and mostly has a hormonal etiology.
