title: Incidence trends of cervical adenocarcinoma in Israeli Jewish women. A population-based study.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the trend over time of the relative frequency and incidence of adenocarcinoma (AC) in Israeli Jewish women.
  
  
  METHODS
  Register study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Israel National Cancer Registry.
  
  
  METHODS
  All cases of histologically proven invasive cervical cancer diagnosed during two time periods: 1961-1971 and 2002-2004.
  
  
  METHODS
  Calculation of frequencies and incidence rates and comparison by the chi2 test and by the Poisson regression model, respectively.
  
  
  METHODS
  Frequency and incidence of AC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were a total of 532 women with a diagnosis of cervical cancer during the first and 434 women during the second period (incidence 4.2 and 4.7/100,000, respectively). The total incidence rates and frequency rates of AC during the two periods were statistically not different. The frequency rate of AC during the second period was significantly higher in the 20-29 and the 40-49 age groups and in the North African born than in the other ethnic groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our study indicates that except in certain age and ethnic groups, the frequency and incidence of AC has not significantly altered in Israel over the time periods studied.
