| الوصف: | 5571 Background: Racial disparities in uterine cancer outcomes are present, as Black patients with uterine cancer have markedly higher mortality when compared with White patients. Potential etiologies of this discrepancy have been investigated, including implicit bias, histopathologic factors and stage at presentation, molecular and genetic factors, and socioeconomic factors. The purpose of this study is to explore if non-White patients with uterine cancer are more likely to experience distant cancer recurrence compared to White patients. Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study was performed examining all patients diagnosed with uterine cancer from 2006-2016. Data regarding patient demographics, medical co-morbidities, histology, stage, treatment course, and disease recurrence were abstracted from the medical record. Race was categorized based on how a patient was registered in the medical record. The primary outcome was location of recurrence, with local recurrence defined as vaginal/cuff recurrence and distant recurrence representing nodal, intraperitoneal, or distant recurrence. A multivariable regression model was built in a backwards stepwise fashion to examine the association of individual covariates with distant recurrence as opposed to vaginal recurrence. Results: A total of 1205 patients with uterine cancer were included for analysis. Three hundred eighteen (26.5%) patients were White, 472 (39.2%) Black, 319 (26.5%) Hispanic, 91 (7.6%) Asian, and 4 (0.3%) other. A total of 223 (18.5%) patients experienced disease recurrence. Black women experienced a statistically significant increased risk of recurrence compared with non-Black women [OR 1.99 (95% CI 1.37-2.88), p < 0.01]. Additionally, Black patients were significantly more likely to experience nodal, intra-peritoneal and distant recurrences relative to White patients (p < 0.01). When adjusting for covariates including race, histology, grade, stage and adjuvant treatment, non-White race [OR 3.87 (95% CI (1.42-10.54), p < 0.01] was associated with significant increase in risk of distal recurrence. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that non-White race is potentially contributory to distant recurrence of uterine cancer, even when accounting for histopathologic differences, stage at presentation, and other traditional covariates. These findings suggest that the disparate outcomes experienced by non-White patients are likely multi-factorial in nature and highlight the need for efforts focused on optimizing treatment and improving outcomes of non-White women with uterine cancer.[Table: see text] |
