Endometrial cancer in Puerto Rico: incidence, mortality and survival (1992-2003).

Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in Puerto Rico and the United States (US).

Methods: We compare the age-specific and age-adjusted incidence and mortality rates and the survival of endometrial cancer in Puerto Rico with that of non-Hispanic whites (NHW), non-Hispanic blacks (NHB) and Hispanics in the US. Data from the Puerto Rico Central Cancer Registry and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program were analyzed from 1992-2003.
