TL;DR
Patients with papillary serous and clear cell endometrial cancer were more likely to be black, present at an advanced stage of disease, and have poor survival compared to patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
Abstract
Patients with papillary serous and clear cell endometrial cancer were more likely to be black, present at an advanced stage of disease, and have poor survival compared to patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma. This may help to explain the poorer survival reported in blacks with endometrial cancer.

In cases of invasive UPSC the mode of spread, similar to that of ovarian surface epithelial carcinomas, suggests the need for adjuvant upper abdominal and pelvic irradiation or effective chemotherapy and should be distinguished from other types of primary endometrial adenocarcinoma.

A survival advantage was seen in patients diagnosed with early surgical stage tumors, reinforcing the need for thorough staging at the time of laparotomy, and clinical stage, depth of myometrial invasion, lymph-vascular space invasion, tumor grade, and DNA aneuploidy were not found to impact on survival.

The site- and stage-specific curves for colon, male rectal, and prostate cancer, supplemented by proportional hazards analyses, indicate no significant stage- specific racial differentials and the relation between race and stage is more complex for female bladder, cervical, and uterine corpus cancer; for these sites, there is a racial difference at some stages but not all.

A moderate racial difference in tumor grade remained after control of the potential explanatory explanatory variables, which may reflect true biologic variation between blacks and whites and may explain, in part, the observation that blacks with endometrial cancer have a worse prognosis.
