[Comment] Uterine cancer mortality and Black women: time to act

Uterine cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK. Although the incidence of uterine cancer has been steadily increasing in the UK1 and many other countries, to date it has attracted much less interest than other gynaecological cancers with regard to symptom awareness. A possible reason is that a high proportion of cases are diagnosed at an early stage, resulting in a good long-term prognosis. However, on Jan 26, 2023, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published for the first time age-standardised mortality rates for uterine cancer by ethnicity for England and Wales in 2012–19.
