Gynecologic cancer includes cancers arising in the female reproductive tract, including the ovary, endometrium, cervix, vulva and vagina. Ovarian cancer is the most deadly of gynecologic cancers and uterine (endometrial) cancer is the most common.
- Ovarian cancer has been declining at a rate of 0.7% per year since 1985 due primarily to improved testing, and uterine cancer rates have been declining at a rate of 1.0% per year since 1988.
- Approximately 3% of cancers in women are ovarian, and 4% are uterine sarcomas.
