Incidence
Theincidencerate(IR)isdefinedasthenumberofnewcasesofdiseaseinapopulation withinaspecifiedtimeperiod:
IR=Newcases/Person-time
The fact that time is a component of the denominator should help clinicians avoid the misapplication of this term to prevalence—anothermeasure of disease occurrence that
includesbotholdandnewcasesexistingatasinglepointintime.
CancerIncidenceandMortality
Cancerincidenceormortalityisusuallystatedascases(ordeaths)per100,000people peryear,orascasesper100,000person-years.Incidenceormortalityismeasuredina specificpopulationoveraspecificperiod.For example,countryorstatecancerregistries
countthenumber of new cancer cases diagnosedorcancerdeaths among residents over a yearanddividethatfigurebycensusestimatesofthetotalpopulationintheregion.
CrudeIncidenceorMortality
Crudeincidenceormortalityisthetotalnumberofnewcancers(ordeaths)thatoccur overaspecifiedtimeintheentirepopulation.
Age-SpecificIncidenceorMortality
Age-specific incidence (or mortality) is the number of new cancers (or deaths) that occuroveraspecifiedtimeamongindividualsofaparticularagegroupdividedbythe totalpopulation in thatsameagegroup. Age-specificincidenceormortalityratesare thebestwayto describe the occurrence of cancerin a population and arecommonly graphedin5-or10-yeargroups.Annualage-specificincidenceandmortalitycurvesforthe
common malignant gynecologic cancers in the United States based on all women in the
Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program for 2006 to 2016 are shown inFigures 7.1Aand B (3). Invasive cervical cancer shows a gradual rise and plateauafter40yearsofageat approximately15 casesper 100,000women-years.These
ratesdonotincludeinsitucervicalintraepithelialneoplasia(CIN).Thevastmajorityofthese casesareseenbetweentheagesof20and50years,withapeakoccurrenceofapproximately 200casesper100,000womenperyearatages25to29.

SEER Cancer Statistics Review, 1975–2016, National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD. Available at https://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2016/, based on November 2018 SEER data submission,postedtotheSEERwebsite,April2019.)
Endometrial cancer rises during the perimenopause and peaks at approximately 90 casesper100,000women-yearsafter60yearsofage.Dramaticchangesintheincidenceof
endometrial cancer have occurred over the past decades, with a sharp increase in the late 1970sand1980sassociatedwith useofunopposedestrogenfor menopause,then adecline withuse andtypeof menopausalhormones toamore recentincrease thatlikelycorrelates withincreasingtrendsinobesity(4).
Ovariancancerdisplaysanincreaseduringtheperimenopauseandpeaksafter70years ofageatapproximately50casesper100,000women-years.Mortalityandincidenceratesof
ovarian cancer in the United States have declined in recent decades (5). Although improvements in survival may account for some of the decline in the mortality (6), this wouldnotexplainchangesinincidencewhichhavedeclinedinparalleltomortalityandhave beenattributedtotheincreaseinoralcontraceptiveuse(7).Morerecentdeclinesinovarian cancerincidence atthe same timethat ratesoffallopian tubecancer haveincreasedwould suggestashiftinpathologists’assignmentofprimarysites(8).

CumulativeIncidenceorMortality
Cumulativeincidence(ormortality)maybethoughtofastheproportionofpeoplewho develop disease (or die from it) during some period of observation. Cumulative
“incidence”is technicallya misnomer becauseit doesnotcontain timein thedenominator but,rather,isexpressedasapercentage.
Thecumulativeincidence(CI)maybecrudelyapproximatedfromage-specificIRsby thefollowingformula:
whereIRiistheage-specificratefortheiagestratumand∆Tiisthesizeoftheageinterval oftheistratum(usually5years).
Cumulative incidence, summed over the age range 0 to 85 years, yields the “lifetime risk”forcanceroccurrenceordeath.LifetimerisksthatawomanintheUnitedStateswill
haveordiefromcancerofthecervix,corpus,orovaryareshowninTable7.1and confirm that a U.S. woman has a greater risk of developing cancer of the corpus than cervical or ovariancancer,butahigherriskofdyingfromovariancancerthancervicalandendometrial cancerscombined.
Age-AdjustedIncidenceorMortality
Age-adjustedincidence(AAI)ormortalityisobtainedbysummingweightedaverages oftheincidenceormortalityratesforeachagestratum.Theweightisderivedfromthe
agedistributionofastandardpopulation:
whereIRiistheIRintheiagestratum,andWiisthenumberofpeopleintheistratuminthe standardpopulation.
Age-adjustedratesarebetterthancruderatesforsummarizingincidenceormortality when comparing cancer occurrence among populations that may differ in their age structure.An“old”populationwouldhaveahighercrudeincidenceofovariancanceranda
lower crude incidence of carcinoma in situ of the cervix than a “young” population, even though both populations might have identical age-specific incidences for each disease. Cancerratesadjustedtothe“worldpopulationstandard”areshowninTable7.2.
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the most prevalent of the gynecologic cancers and is secondonly to breast cancerinoverall occurrence. Cervical cancer is most frequent in
southernAfricaandCentralAmericaandleastfrequentinNorthAmericaandpartsofAsia. EndometrialcancerismostfrequentinNorthAmericaandleastfrequentinAfricaandAsia. OvariancancerismostfrequentinnorthernEuropeandleastfrequentinAfricaandAsia.
Prevalence
Prevalence(P)istheproportionofpeoplewhohaveaparticulardiseaseorconditionat aspecifiedtime.Prevalence can becalculatedby multiplying incidencetimesthe average
durationofdisease:
Prevalence=Incidence×Averagedurationofdisease
Morecommonly,prevalenceisderivedfromcross-sectionalstudiesinwhichthenumber
ofindividualsalivewithaparticularconditionisidentifiedfromasurveyandstatedas apercentageofthetotalnumberofpeoplewhorespondedtothesurvey.Otherexamples
ofstudiesthatyieldprevalencedataarethosebasedonautopsyfindingsandscreeningtests. Thefrequencyofpreviouslyunidentifiedcancersfoundinaseriesofautopsiesyieldsdataon the prevalence of occult cancer. The first application of a screening test in a previously unscreenedpopulationyieldstheprevalenceofpreclinicaldisease.
CancerSurvival
Whentheproportionof patients surviving cancer is plotted against time, the pattern oftenfitsanexponentialfunction,meaningthattherateofdeathisconstantovertime,
whichcan be demonstrated by plottingthelogarithm of the probability ofsurvivalagainst timeanddemonstratingastraightline.Summarymeasuresforasurvivalcurvecommonly
includemediansurvivaltime,orthepointatwhich50%ofthepatientshavedied,and theprobabilityofsurvivalat1,2,and5years.

a
RelativeSurvival
Relativesurvivalisdefinedastheratiooftheobservedsurvivalforthepatientgroupto the survival expected for a population with similar demographic characteristics.
RelativesurvivalforU.S.womendiagnosedbetween2000and2014isshowninFigure7.2 for the major gynecologic cancers and reveals that survival is best after diagnosis of endometrialcancer,worstafterovariancancer,andintermediateaftercervicalcancer.Five­yearrelativesurvivalisshowninTable7.3bytypeandstageofgynecologiccancerforU.S. women.Stage at presentation and 5-yearsurvivalaremost favorable for endometrial
cancerandleastfavorableforovariancancer.Ingeneral,blackstendtobediagnosedat moreadvanced stages and have poorersurvivalcomparedwithwhites, especially for endometrialandcervicalcancers.
EtiologicStudies
Indistinctiontodescriptivestudies,etiologicstudiesexaminetherelationshipbetween cancer occurrence and survival and personal factors such as diet and reproductive history. This relationshipisoften described by the epidemiologic parameters, relative risk,andattributablerisk.
RelativeRisk(RR)istheriskofdiseaseordeathinapopulationexposedtosomefactor ofinterestdividedbytheriskinthosenotexposed.Absenceofassociationisindicatedby
anRRof1(nullvalue);anumbergreaterthan1mayindicatethatexposureincreasestherisk ofdiseaseandanumberlessthan1thatexposuredecreasestheriskofdisease.
Attributableriskistheriskofdiseaseordeathinapopulationexposedtosomefactorof interestminustheriskinthosenotexposed.Thenullvalueis0;anumbergreaterthan0
may indicate that exposure increases the risk of disease and a number less than 0 that exposuredecreasestherisk.
Case–ControlStudy
Inacase–controlstudy,diseasedandnondiseasedpopulationsareselected,andexisting orpast characteristics(exposures)areassessed to determine the possible relationship betweenexposureanddisease.Theinvestigatorstartswithdiseasedcasesandthenselectsa
sampleofnondiseasedcontrolswhoarerepresentativeoftheunderlyingpopulationthatgave risetothe cases and are then studied to determine whethertheyhada particular exposure (beforetheillness).

OddsRatio
Theoddsthatthecaseswereexposed(a/b)arecomparedwiththeoddsthatthecontrol subjectswereexposed(c/d)inameasurecalledtheoddsratio(Fig.7.3).Itapproximates theRR. If an entire population could be characterized by its exposure and disease status,
then the exposure odds ratio would be mathematically identical to the RR obtained in a cohortstudy.Becauseit is feasibleto study onlysubsets of casesand control subjects,the exposureoddsratiointhesampledpopulationapproximatestheRR,aslongasthecasesand control subjects actually sampled were not preferentially selected on the basis of their exposurestatus.
CohortStudies
Inacohortstudy,thegroupstobestudiedaredefinedbycharacteristics(orexposures) thatoccurbeforethediseaseofinterest,andthe studygroupsarefollowedtoobserve the risk of disease in the cohorts. The investigator starts with exposed and nonexposed
individuals who are monitored over time to identify the number of diseased cases that develop.Theinitialsizeofthecohortandthenumberofyearscohortmembersarestudied determinetheperson-timecontributedbythecohorts.
Theinvestigatorcalculatestheratesofdiseaseinexposedandunexposedsubjectsand determines the RR or attributable risk. The ability to calculate attributable risk, the
amountofdiseasepossiblyduetotheexposure,representsanadvantageofcohortovercase– control studies (although attributable risk can be estimated by a term called the etiologic fractionincase-controlstudies)(4,9).
Forrareexposures, aninvestigatormay usethegeneral populationasthe unexposedgroup andcalculateaparameterequivalenttotheRRthatisknownasthestandardizedmorbidity
ratio(Fig.7.4).
StandardizedMorbidityorMortalityRatio
The standardized morbidity or mortality ratio (SMR) is the observed number of exposedcohortmembersinwhomdiseasedeveloped,dividedbythenumberexpectedif generalpopulationdiseaserateshadprevailedinthecohort.
Cohortstudiesarefurtherdistinguishedbywhentheexposureandoutcomeoccurredorwill occurinrelationtowhentheinvestigatorbeganthestudy.
RetrospectiveCohortStudy
In a retrospective cohort study, the exposures and outcomes have already occurred whenthestudyisbegun.Forexample,studiesofsecondcancersaftertherapeuticradiation
are based on review of medical records and death certificates of women irradiated for cervicalcancerdecadesearlier,allowingassessmentofbothexposureandoutcomeafterthey haveoccurred.
ProspectiveCohortStudy
Inaprospectivecohort study,enrollment is restrictedtothosewhohavenothadthe outcomeofinterestandtherelevantexposuremayormaynothaveoccurredwhenthe study began. After the cohort is selected, the investigator must wait for the disease or
outcometoappearinthecohortmembers.TheNurses’HealthStudyisagoodexampleofa prospectivecohortstudy(10).
ClinicalTrial
A clinical trial is a special type of prospectivecohort study in which the investigator assigns a therapy or preventive agent in a randomized fashion to minimize the possibility of bias accounting for different outcomes subsequently observed between treatmentcohorts.Obviously,suchstudiescannotbeusedtoassessaharmfuleffectofan
exposureexceptasmightoccurasanunintendedsideeffectofthetherapy.Clinicaltrialsare the only satisfactory way to assess the effect of different cancer therapies on disease
