Survival disparities in non-Hispanic Black and White cervical cancer patients vary by histology and are largely explained by modifiable factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We investigated racial disparities in survival by histology in cervical cancer and examined the factors contributing to these disparities.

Methods

Non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White (hereafter known as Black and White) patients with stage I-IV cervical carcinoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2017 in the National Cancer Database were studied. Survival differences were compared using Cox modeling to estimate hazard ratio (HR) or adjusted HR (AHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The contribution of demographic, socioeconomic and clinical factors to the Black vs White differences in survival was estimated after applying propensity score weighting in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or adenocarcinoma (AC).

Results

This study included 10,111 Black a
