TL;DR
Black women in the general population have the same likelihood as white women of developing high-risk endometrial cancer, and black women have a significantly lower incidence of low-risk tumors compared to white women.
Abstract
Black women in the general population have the same likelihood as white women of developing high-risk endometrial cancer. Black women have a significantly lower incidence of low-risk tumors compared to white women. The increased incidence of low-grade lesions in white women may be due to differences in socioeconomic factors or other factors yet to be identified.

It is suggested that the disproportionate distribution of blacks at lower socioeconomic levels accounts for much of the excess cancer burden among blacks and for both blacks and whites unidentified racial factors, which may be either cultural or genetic, may play a role in the incidence of some cancers.

It is confirmed that black women with endometrial cancer have a poorer outcome than white women; however, this does not appear to be due to a difference in the interval from onset of abnormal uterine bleeding to hysterectomy.
