Exploring Racial Disparities in Uterine Cancer Survival: A 20-Year, Single-Site Analysis

A 20-year retrospective registry analysis of 4,891 patients (262 self-identified African American or Black) at an urban cancer center examined racial disparities in uterine cancer survival. Black patients more frequently experienced risk factors for uterine cancer mortality; in adjusted models, older age, advanced disease, higher tumor grade, and not graduating from high school predicted increased mortality. The authors highlight socioeconomic determinants as drivers of racial disparities in survival and call for earlier diagnosis and enhanced patient support.
