It is one of the three most common malignant tumors in the female reproductive tract, with a peak age of 58 to 61 years old, accounting for about 7% of all female cancers and 20 to 30% of female reproductive tract malignant tumors. In recent years, the incidence rate has been on the rise, approaching or even exceeding that of cervical cancer.
