Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, mortality of uterine cancer, their relationship with Human Development Index (HDI), and its components in world in 2012. Material and Methods: Data were obtained from incidence and mortality rates presented by GLOBOCAN in 2012. Data on HDI and its components were extracted from the World Bank site. We used the correlation bivariate method for assessment of the correlation between Standardized Mortality Rates (SMRs) and Standardized Incidence Rates with HDI, and its details. Results: In total, 52762 incidence cases and 265672 deaths of prostate cancer were recorded in 2012 in all countries in the world. ASMR for cervix uteri cancer was 6.8 per hundred thousand people in the entire world and ASMR for cervix uteri cancer was 6.8 per hundred thousand people in the entire world. A negative correlation of - 0.578 was seen between SIR of uterine cancer and HDI. Also, a negative correlation of - 0.717 was seen between SMR of uterine cancer and HDI. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the incidence and mortality of uterine cancer is higher in less developed countries and incidence is positively significantly related to HDI. Finally, the expansion of effective, acceptable screening programs can effectively reduce the incidence of Cancer.
