Abstract:
What's new? For the past 40 years, age‐standardized incidence of corpus cancer in Japan, similar to other countries worldwide, has been increasing. However, whereas global increases in corpus cancer are linked to increasing obesity, obesity rates in Japan remain uniquely low. This population‐based study, drawing on data from the Osaka Cancer Registry, reveals a sharp increase in age‐standardized incidence of corpus neoplasia from 2000‐2011 in Japan. Each histological cancer type differed in incidence trend, relative survival, and distribution of extent of disease. Additional analyses indicate that recent changes in adjuvant therapy, particularly increased use of chemotherapy over radiation, have improved prognosis.
