Reply to “Need for an up to date and comprehensive risk factor analysis to determine the lifetime risk of uterine corpus cancer in Taiwan women”

We thank Wijayabahu AT for her comments on our article [1]. Our study was based on the Taiwan Cancer Registry (TCR), which was established by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1979 to estimate cancer incidence among all civilian residents in Taiwan. TCR is an online, publicly accessible aggregate dataset, which collects newly diagnosed cases of cancer on an annual basis. Although we understand Wijayabahu's concern regarding the need to include the most current data (2011 –2016), the most updated TCR annual report was released for the year 2012 at the time of our submission on 28 August 2015 and acceptance on 18 September 2015 [2].
