Hysterectomy-corrected uterine corpus cancer incidence trends and differences in relative survival reveal racial disparities and rising rates of nonendometrioid cancers
Journal of Clinical Oncology May 27, 2019
Clarke MA, et al. - Researchers analyzed recent trends in hysterectomy-corrected incidence rates of uterine corpus cancer by race and ethnicity and histologic subtype. According to race and ethnicity, subtype, and stage, they estimated the diversity in relative survival. Non-Hispanic whites and blacks demonstrated similar incidence rates, whereas rates were lower among Hispanics and Asians/Pacific Islanders. From 2003 to 2015, a rise in the incidence was noted among non-Hispanic whites. Increases in the incidence were also evident among non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and Asians/Pacific Islanders from 2000 to 2015. Compared to non-Hispanic whites, increased overall incidence rates were noted among non-Hispanic blacks in 2007. Rapidly increasing rates of nonendometrioid subtypes were reported among all women. They observed higher rates of nonendometrioid subtypes and poorer survival among non-Hispanic black women which reflected profound racial differences and disparities.
