Racial and Ethnic Differences in Hysterectomy-Corrected Uterine Corpus Cancer Mortality by Stage and Histologic Subtype.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Uterine cancer incidence has been increasing, particularly rates of aggressive, nonendometrioid subtypes, which are disproportionately higher among non-Hispanic Black women. The association of subtype-specific trends with uterine cancer mortality and with the role of tumor subtype and stage at diagnosis with racial disparities in uterine cancer deaths at the population-based level are not known.

Objective

To estimate histologic subtype- and stage-specific uterine cancer mortality rates by race and ethnicity, corrected for hysterectomy.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-18 Incidence-Based Mortality database, representing approximately 26% of the US population and including deaths that
