Uterine cancer deaths could soon outnumber deaths from ovarian cancer, oncologist says

Over 13,000 women are at risk of death from ovarian cancer in the US in 2023, according to the American Cancer Society.

But even more could die from uterine cancer this year.

Uterine cancer — the most common type of gynecologic cancer in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — starts in the uterus and can spread to other parts of the body.
