Guideline-adherent treatment, sociodemographic disparities, and cause-specific survival for endometrial carcinomas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines have been adopted as the standard of care for various cancers and have been cited to have survival benefits. Few studies have examined the association of adherent treatment and endometrial cancer survival among various racial/ethnic groups and socioeconomic statuses.

Methods

Between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2015, 83,673 women diagnosed with endometrial carcinomas were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Descriptive statistics of demographic and clinical characteristics were performed. Cox-proportional hazards models were used to examine the effect on cause-specific survival for adherence to guidelines across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups.
