Endometrial cancer epidemiologic trends between 2000 and 2018: A comparative analysis of cancer disparities in incidence, mortality and survival between women living in Puerto Rico, Non-Hispanic Blacks, Non-Hispanic Whites, and US Hispanics

Endometrial cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States (US) and Puerto Rico (PR). Diagnosis in younger women has been noticed in clinical settings in PR. The study aimed to evaluate endometrial cancer trends in incidence, mortality, and survival among women in PR compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB), and US Hispanics (USH), to assess whether disparities exist by age and stage at diagnosis on the outcomes of interest and to describe incidence rates by histologic types, including epithelial, mesenchymal, and carcinosarcoma.
