Ovarian Cancer Incidence Rate

Measurement Period: 2017-2021
This indicator shows the age-adjusted incidence rate for ovarian cancer in cases per 100,000 females.

Why is this important?

Ovarian cancer forms in the tissues of the ovary. Ovarian cancer causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. All women are at risk for ovarian cancer, but older women are more likely to get the disease than younger women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 90 percent of women who get ovarian cancer are older than 40 years of age, with the greatest number being aged 55 years or older.
