Five-Year Relative Survival Rates of Women Diagnosed with Uterine Cancer by County-Level Socioeconomic Status Overall and across Histology and Race/Ethnicity.

ABSTRACT: Understanding socioeconomic factors contributing to uterine cancer survival disparities is crucial, especially given the increasing incidence of uterine cancer, which disproportionately impacts racial/ethnic groups. We investigated the impact of county-level socioeconomic factors on five-year survival rates of uterine cancer overall and by histology across race/ethnicity. We included 333,013 women aged ≥ 30 years with microscopically confirmed uterine cancers (2000-2018) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 22 database followed through 2019. Age-standardized five-year relative survival rates were compared within race/ethnicity and histology, examining the differences across tertiles of county-level percent (%)
