We compared time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of uterine cancer incidence (ICD-10: C53–C54) across 13 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in Asia. We obtained data published in the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, Vols IV–IX (year at diagnosis: 1973–77, 1978–82, 1983–87, 1988–92, 1993–97 and 1998–2002, respectively) and used the world population for age-standardized.
