Global, regional, and national estimates of burden and risk factors of female cancers in child-bearing age: A systematic analysis for Global Burden of Disease Study and Bayesian projection to 2030

Globally, the number of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer cases among WCBA has increased over the past decade, accompanied by a steady rise in age-standardized incidence rates. In contrast, while the absolute number of cervical cancer cases has risen, its age-standardized incidence rate has declined. Mortality rates for both breast and cervical cancers have generally decreased worldwide; however, in countries within the lower SDI quintile, mortality rates for these cancers continue to rise. Therefore, priority should be given to initiatives such as smoking cessation programs, alcohol reduction strategies, HPV vaccination campaigns, and safe sex education, particularly in lower SDI countries.
