This Global Burden of Disease study estimated the worldwide burden of cervical cancer. It reported incidence and mortality for 2023. It also produced forecasts to 2050. Worldwide, there were an estimated 887,000 new cases and 369,000 deaths from cervical cancer in 2023. Both cases and deaths are forecast to rise by 2050. The figures are modelled estimates rather than direct counts, so they depend on the model's inputs and assumptions.
Why it is interesting: The study puts a worldwide figure on new cervical cancer cases and deaths in 2023. It also reports that both are forecast to rise by 2050.
