- In 2022, there were 3.7 million new cases and 1.3 million deaths from women's cancers globally.
- Breast cancer had the highest proportion with 2,295,720 incident cases and 665,675 deaths, followed by cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers.
- The age-standardized incidence rate of women's cancers is projected to reach 83.7 per 100,000 by 2050.
- The age-standardized mortality rate for women's cancers has declined since 1990 and is expected to further decrease to 25.3 per 100,000 by 2050.
- High socio-demographic index (SDI) regions have a greater burden of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers, while cervical cancer is more prevalent in low-SDI regions.
- Elderly women face a higher cancer burden.
- Unsafe sexual practices are the leading risk factor for cervical cancer, dietary risks for breast cancer, and high body mass index for uterine and ovarian cancers.
