Trends in gynecologic cancer among elderly women in Denmark, 1980–2012

abstract

 For ovarian and Fallopian tube cancers the incidence was almost constant, whereas the average annual number of deaths decreased over time from 466 in 1980 to 396 in 2012. The mortality rates were clearly separated by age groups with mortality rates 3–4 times higher among the elderly. The mortality rate decreased among women less than 70 years during the entire period.
