Increasing Incidence of Endometrial Cancer in the United States
Abstract
Data from eight areas in the United States served by population-based cancer reporting systems indicate that, after many years of relative stability, incidence rates of endometrial cancer have risen sharply in the 1970's. In some areas the amount of the increase has exceeded 10 per cent per year. The incidence among middle-aged women has changed most (by 40 to 150 per cent between 1969 and 1973, depending on the area), but rates have increased in younger women and the elderly as well.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
