    Author: Zambon P, La Rosa F.
    Journal: Epidemiol Prev; 2004; 28(2 Suppl):68-74. PubMed ID: 15281609.
    Abstract:
    Incidence trend of cervix uteri cancer (5,158 cases), within the Italian Network of Cancer Registries database (pool AIRT), showed for the period 1986-1997 a statistically significant decrease up to 1990. Corpus uteri cancer (9,975 incident cases) incidence rates were stable in the analysed period. As regards uteri cancer mortality, only a small proportion of deaths are coded as cervix (784 deaths) or corpus uteri (886 deaths) whereas the great majority (3,538 deaths) refers to uteri not otherwise specified; mortality for the latter group was significantly decreasing in the analysed period. Ovary cancer showed stable incidence (7,690 incident cases) and mortality (5.040 deaths) rates in the period 1986-1997.
