Endometrial cancer risk and trends among distinct African descent populations

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fourth most common cancer among Black women in the United States, a population disproportionately affected by aggressive nonendometrioid subtypes (e.g., carcinosarcoma) The authors analyzed 34,789 EC cases from Florida (FL), Martinique (2005–2018), and Guadeloupe (2008–2019) based on cancer registry data .
