Retrospective cohort study demonstrates poorer survival in older and Black patients with endometrial carcinoma, highlighting severe disparities in clinical outcomes.

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of age and race on clinical characteristics and overall prognosis in patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma.
Retrospective analysis of 279 patients with endometrial carcinoma treated between 1975 and 1990 at two institutions in Brooklyn, New York.
Patients were stratified by age (<=60 years vs. >60 years), race (Black vs. White), tumor grade, clinical stage, and extent of myometrial invasion.
Survival outcomes were calculated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Older patients (>60 years) exhibited significantly shorter median survival than younger patients (<=60 years) at 90 months versus 200 months (p = 0.0085).
White patients had significantly longer corrected median survival compared to Black patients at 232 months versus 108 months (p = 0.0001).
Older Black patients presented with the least favorable prognostic factors and had the lowest median survival at 40 months compared to 155 months for older White patients (p = 0.0005).
