Popis: Aim: The histology-specific long-term trends in the incidence of ovarian cancer and borderline tumors in Japanese women were examined, based on data from the population-based cancer registry in Niigata, Japan. Material and Methods: Data were obtained from the Niigata Gynecological Cancer Registry, which covered the entire female population in Niigata prefecture, Japan, during the period from 1983 to 2007. Results: A total of 3134 females with epithelial ovarian cancer, including borderline tumor cases, were diagnosed between 1983 and 2007.
