"Womb cancer is the sixth most common cancer affecting women, with approximately 382,000 new diagnoses and 89,900 deaths from the disease in 2018 globally.

Most women present early following the onset of postmenopausal bleeding and have a good prognosis.

However, 20% of women present with advanced disease, and have a 5-year survival rate of just 15%".
