Deaths From Uterine Cancer Projected to Rise Sharply over Next Two Decades
- In 2024, a study from the American Association for Cancer Research projects uterine cancer cases will rise over 50% by 2050, with Black women three times more likely to die from it.
- The increase stems from rising obesity, declining hysterectomy rates, and social determinants that worsen racial disparities, amplifying uterine cancer risk among Black women.
- Epidemiological data show uterine cancer cases rose over 50% from 43,000 to 65,000 , with annual incidence increasing 0.7% and mortality 1.6%.
- Public health officials are urged to improve screening and develop targeted strategies for high-risk groups, especially Black women, amid rising uterine cancer projections and disparities.
- Future projections suggest that implementing screening at age 55 could reduce uterine cancer incidence for up to 16 years, while obesity reduction via weight loss medications may significantly lower future cases.

Deaths from uterine cancer projected to rise sharply over next two decades
Uterine cancer rates in the United States are expected to climb significantly over the next 25 years, with Black women projected to face the highest burden, according to a new study.Researchers found that while most cancer rates in the U.S. have declined, uterine cancer incidence increased by 0.7% annually between 2013 and 2022, and death rates rose by 1.6% each year from 2014 to 2023. Black women are already twice as likely to die from uterine …
Womb cancer deaths may soar by 98% in next 25 years - and everyday foods in Britain could be to blame
Uterine cancer cases could surge by up to 53 per cent by 2050, with deaths from the disease potentially soaring by as much as 98 per cent, according to a new study
Uterine cancer deaths expected to rise sharply in the United States by 2050
Uterine cancer incidence and mortality rates are projected to increase significantly over the next three decades in the United States, with incidence-based mortality expected to be nearly three times higher in Black women compared with white women by 2050.
Uterine cancer incidence, mortality to increase substantially by 2050, model shows
Incidence and mortality rates for uterine cancer are projected to rise substantially over the next 3 decades, according to research published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.Racial disparities also are expected to become more pronounced, with incidence-based mortality predicted to be nearly three times higher among Black women than white women by 2050.
