Uterine cancer incidence rates, particularly for aggressive nonendometrioid subtypes, have been increasing, especially among non-Hispanic Black women. This study aimed to estimate histologic subtype- and stage-specific uterine cancer mortality corrected for hysterectomy by race and ethnicity. The findings suggest a significant increase in mortality rates for nonendometrioid uterine carcinoma, while endometrioid carcinoma mortality rates have remained stable. Significant disparities in mortality rates among non-Hispanic Black women cannot be fully explained by subtype distribution and stage at diagnosis.
IMPORTANCE Uterine cancer incidence has been increasing, particularly rates of aggressive, nonendometrioid subtypes, which are disproportionately higher among non-Hispanic Black women. The association of subtype-specific trends with uterine cancer mortality and with the role of tumor subtype and stage at diagnosis with racial disparities in uterine cancer deaths at the population-based level are not known. OBJECTIVE To estimate histologic subtype- and stage-specific uterine cancer mortality rates by race and ethnicity, corrected for hysterectomy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study used the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-18 Incidence-Based Mortality database, representing approximately 26% of the US population and including deaths that occurred from 2000 to 2017. Hysterectomy correction was based on hysterectomy prevalence data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Uncorrected and corrected rates associated with uterine corpus cancer cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 and uterine corpus cancer deaths occurring between 2010 and 2017 were age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population and are expressed per 100 000 person-years, and annual percent changes in rates were calculated using log-linear regression. Data analysis was performed from March 10 to May 20, 2021. EXPOSURES Tumor histologic subtype, cancer stage at diagnosis, and race and ethnicity. RESULTS Among 208 587 women diagnosed with uterine cancer during 2000-2017 (15 983 [7.7%] were Asian; 20 302 [9.7%] Black; 23 096 [11.1%] Hispanic; and 149 206 [ 71.5%] White individuals), there were 16 797 uterine cancer deaths between 2010 and 2017, corresponding to a hysterectomy-corrected mortality rate of 15.7 per 100 000 person-years. Hysterectomy-corrected rates were highest among Black women, overall, by histologic subtype and stage at diagnosis. Among all women, uterine corpus cancer mortality rates increased significantly by 1.8%(95% CI, 1.5%-2.9%) per year from 2010 to 2017, as did rates of nonendometrioid carcinomas (2.7%; 95% CI, 1.8%-3.6%), with increases occurring in Asian (3.4%; 95% CI, 0.3%-6.6%), Black (3.5%; 95% CI, 2.2%-4.9%), Hispanic (6.7%; 95% CI, 1.9%-11.8%), and White women (1.5%; 95% CI, 0.6%-2.4%). In contrast, endometrioid carcinoma mortality rates remained stable. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The findings of this cohort study suggest a significant increase of nonendometrioid uterine carcinoma mortality rates, aligning with recent incidence trends. The factors associated with these trends are not well understood and require more investigation of possible mechanisms. Despite stable incidence rates, endometrioid cancer mortality rates have not decreased over the past decade at the population level, suggesting limited progress in treatment for these cancers. The substantial disparities in uterine corpus cancer mortality rates among non-Hispanic Black women cannot be fully explained by subtype distribution and stage at diagnosis.
