    “We’ve known for years that Black [patients] with endometrial cancer have lower survival rates than White [patients], largely because they are more likely to have an aggressive subtype and to be diagnosed at an advanced stage. But our study found this disparity persists even w hen we compare patients with the lowest-risk [type of endometrial cancer] diagnosed at the earliest possible stage,” explained lead study author Kristin Taylor, MD, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cedars-Sinai.

    PURPOSE The molecular classification of endometrial cancer (EC) has proven to have prognostic value and is predictive of response to adjuvant chemotherapy. Here, we investigate its predictive value for response to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) in early-stage endometrioid EC (EEC). METHODS Data of the randomized PORTEC-1 trial (n = 714) comparing pelvic EBRT with no adjuvant therapy in early-stage intermediate-risk EC and the PORTEC-2 trial (n = 427) comparing VBT with EBRT in early-stage high-intermediate-risk EC were used. Locoregional (including vaginal and pelvic) recurrence-free survival was compared between treatment groups across the four molecular classes using Kaplan-Meier’s methodology and log-rank tests. RESULTS A total of 880 molecularly classified ECs, 484 from PORTEC-1 and 396 from PORTEC-2, were included. The majority were FIGO-2009 stage I EEC (97.2%). The median follow-up was 11.3 years. No locoregional recurrences were observed in EC

    • Endometrial cancer affects Black and white women equally in the U.S., with a lifetime risk of about 3%. And while the overall survival rate is more than 80%, Black women with #endometrialcancer are nearly twice as likely to die from the disease. Read more: https://t.co/D1Ckb5QVJc
