Racial and ethnic differences in type II endometrial cancer mortality outcomes: The contribution of sociodemographic, clinicopathologic, and treatment factors.

ABSTRACT:

The burden of type II endometrial cancer (EC) is rising dramatically in the U.S. Although type II EC disproportionately affects Black women, the magnitude of racial/ethnic differences in type II EC mortality outcomes and factors underlying these differences remain understudied.
