Uterine Cancer Mortality Now Neck and Neck With Ovarian Cancer

I agree with your above comments, Forherself. All the more reason that I believe National Cancer Institute funding levels for uterine cancer need to be dramatically increased from one-seventh of that for ovarian cancer. Since the one-seventh figure was the funding level in 2018, perhaps something has dramatically changed in the last few years and someone will post informing us of current funding levels that are more encouraging for uterine cancer. I'm also in favor of more funding for fellowships and other advanced training for gynecologic oncologists. I was fortunate enough to have been treated almost 23 years ago by a highly-trained and experienced gynecologic oncologist, but not every woman diagnosed with uterine cancer (or any other gynecologic cancer for that matter) is that lucky.

With annual ovarian and uterine cancer mortality statistics now neck and neck, and uterine cancer being diagnosed in more than three times as many women every year as are being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I really see no justification for funding levels for the two cancers being so different.
