Cervical Cancer - Epidemiology Forecast to 2030
Summary
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, which connects the vagina (birth canal) to the upper part of the uterus (Mayo Clinic, 2021). All women are at risk for cervical cancer. It occurs most often in women ages 30 years and older (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). Long-lasting infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. Almost all cervical cancer cases (99%) are linked to infection with HPV, an extremely common virus transmitted through sexual contact (World Health Organization, 2021). In 2018, an estimated 570,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer worldwide, and about 311,000 women died from the disease (World Health Organization, 2021).
In the 8MM, diagnosed incident cases of cervical cancer are expected to increase from 109,891cases in 2020 to 123,846 cases in 2030, at an Annual Growth Rate (AGR) of 1.27%. In 2030, urban China will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of cervical cancer in the 8MM, with 83,479 cases, whereas Spain will have the fewest diagnosed incident cases of cervical cancer with 2,147 cases. In the 8MM, the five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of cervical cancer are expected to increase from 394,378 cases in 2020 to 453,614 cases in 2030, at an AGR of 1.50%. GlobalData epidemiologists attribute the increase in the five-year diagnosed prevalent cases and diagnosed incident cases of cervical cancer to changes in the diagnosed incidence and survival rates, and population dynamics in each market.
