Uterine Cancer:

Mortality is improving, thanks to advancements in treatment and early diagnosis.

Risk is highest in developed/high-SDI regions, while cases continue to rise globally.

Prevention strategies—such as weight management, hormonal balance, and awareness of early symptoms—remain essential for both global and national control.
