Trend mainly due to use of oral contraceptives, says research published in Annals of Oncology
Death rates from ovarian cancer in the UK are predicted to have fallen by 17% in 2022 compared with five years ago, according to research.
Researchers said the trend was mainly due to the use of oral contraceptives, a factor that also explains the difference between the UK and European Union countries, which are projected to record a drop in death rates of 7% this year. The findings were published in the journal Annals of Oncology.
