Epidemiology: Ovarian Cancer

Introduction

Incident cases of ovarian cancer will increase across the seven major healthcare markets between 2010 and 2019. In all markets, these increases will be primarily due to the underlying population age structure. This trend is driven by the increase in incident cases among the growing elderly population, as trends among younger age groups will be flat or in very gradual decline between 2010 and 2019.
Features and benefits

* Gain insight to market potential including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of ovarian cancer incident cases.* Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with ovarian cancer.
Highlights

Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women; it also has the highest mortality. The key risk factors for ovarian cancer are hormone-related; prolonged exposure to free estrogens is believed to stimulate mutations in the epithelial cells of the ovaries.During the forecast period, incident cases of ovarian cancer will increase across the seven major healthcare markets. Datamonitor estimates that 63,779 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the seven major healthcare markets in 2010; incident cases will grow by nearly 13% over the forecast period to 71,930 incident cases annually.
Your key questions answered

* What are the most robust sources for ovarian cancer incidence data?* How will the patient population change over the next decade in the US, Japan, and five major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK)?* How do changes in population structure and risk factors affect the trend in incident ovarian cancer cases?
