Endometrial cancer disparities: a race-conscious critique of the literature.
This review critiques how race has been conceptualized to explain the causes of endometrial cancer disparities, assesses gaps in knowledge production, and proposes new research priorities. The authors found that a narrow definition of race as a purely biological construct is common throughout the literature, resulting in an underemphasis on the role of modifiable, nonbiological contributors to racial disparities and a lack of follow-up work to address these contributors. Knowledge gaps included the role of health care systems in early diagnosis, a lack of intervention studies to address persistent treatment inequity by race, and the near absence of qualitative work to understand the perspectives of black women diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
