Overview
Cervical cancer is one of the most common and fatal forms of cancer worldwide. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fifth most deadly cancer in women.[1] It affects about 1 per 123 women per year and kills about 9 per 100,000 per year. In the United States, it is only the 8th most common cancer of women. In 1998, about 12,800 women were diagnosed in the US and about 4,800 died (Canavan & Doshi, 2000). Among gynecological cancers it ranks behind endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. The incidence and mortality in the US are about half those for the rest of the world, which is due in part to the success of screening with the Pap smear.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- In the United States, the age-adjusted prevalence of cervical cancer is 87.9 per 100,000 in 2011.[3]
Incidence
- The delay-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer in 2011 was estimated to be 6.83 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[3]
- In 2011, the age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer was 6.73 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[3]
- In Great Britain, the incidence is 8.8/100,000 per year (2001), similar to the rest of Northern Europe, and mortality is 2.8/100,000 per year (2003) (Cancer Research UK Cervical cancer statistics for the UK). With a 42% reduction from 1988-1997 the NHS implemented screening programme has been highly successful, screening the highest risk age group (25-49 years) every 3 years, and those ages 50-64 every 5 years.
Age
- While the overall age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 7.8 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of cervical cancer by age category is:[3]
- Under 65 years: 7.3 per 100,000
- 65 and over: 11.5 per 100,000
Race
- Shown below is a table depicting the age-adjusted prevalence of cervical cancer by race in 2011 in the United States.[3]
| All Races | White | Black | Asian/Pacific Islander | Hispanic | |
| Age-adjusted prevalence | 87.9 per 100,000 | 91.3 per 100,000 | 81.9 per 100,000 | 75.5 per 100,000 | 141 per 100,000 |
- Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of cervical cancer in the white and black races in the United States between 1975 and 2011.[3]
- Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of cervical cancer by race in the United States between 1975 and 2011.[3]
API: Asian/Pacific Islander; AI/AN: American Indian/ Alaska Native
Percent Distribution of Cervical Cancer by Histology
Among patients with histologically confirmed cases of cervical cancer, the percent distribution of the types of the disease between 2007 and 2011 in the United States are:[3]
- Carcinoma: 98.1%
- Epidermoid carcinoma: 66.1%
- Squamous cell carcinoma: 45.2%
- Squamous cell, keratinizing: 7.1%
- Squamous cell, non keratinizing: 8.9%
- Squamous cell, microinvasive: 3.3%
- Other: 1.5%
- Adenocarcinoma: 27,7%
- Adenocarcinoma no otherwise specified: 14.5%
- Adenosquamous: 3.7%
- Other adenocarcinoma: 9.5%
- Other specific carcinoma: 1.5%
- Unspecified carcinoma: 2.9%
- Epidermoid carcinoma: 66.1%
- Sarcoma: 0.4%
- Other specific types: 1%
- Unspecified: 0.6%
