Differences in single gene expression patterns and signaling pathways between Black and White patients in high grade endometrioid endometrial cancer independent of BMI

Endometrial cancer (EC) incidence and mortality are increasing with striking racial disparities. Race and obesity are known risk factors for EC, however, their relationship and impact on tumor biology in higher grade endometrioid EC are unclear. The objective of this pilot study was to identify gene- and pathway-level changes in tumors from Black patients compared to White, both in general and in the context of dichotomized BMI.
