TL;DR
Eighty percent of the excess mortality among black women is explained by racial differences in stage at diagnosis, tumor characteristics, treatment, sociodemo-graphic characteristics, hormonal and reproductive factors, and factors related to comorbidities and health behavior.
Abstract
Eighty percent of the excess mortality among black women is explained by racial differences in stage at diagnosis, tumor characteristics, treatment, sociodemographic characteristics, hormonal and reproductive factors, and factors related to comorbidities and health behavior. Difference in stage at diagnosis is prominent in explaining the disparity in endometrial cancer survival rates in black and white women. Potential differences in treatment within stage merit further exploration.

Endometrial cancer risk was also found to be directly related to socioeconomic status, relative weight, diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis and supported the idea that hormone activity during, and perhaps after, reproductive life is an important cause of this disease.
