The highest AsIRs were observed in breast, nonmelanoma skin, and cervical cancers, with the highest AsDRs seen in breast and lung cancers in 2021. Although AsIR has increased globally, AsDR has declined from 1990 to 2021. EOC disproportionately affected women, particularly in high-income countries. Risk factor analysis highlights obesity, tobacco use, and dietary patterns as key contributors to EOC burden. Projected analysis till 2040 revealed relatively stable AsIR and declining AsDR for overall EOCs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The increasing global burden of EOC underscores the need for targeted strategies.
