Approaches to Curtail Endometrial Cancer Incidence and Mortality

摘要 子宫内膜癌的发病率持续上升，是妇科中最常见的癌症 美国的女性。令人难过的是，与大多数其他癌症不同的是，在过去的几年里，存活率一直停滞不前。 几十年了。在存活率方面存在显著的种族差异，非西班牙裔黑人女性患有 预后最差，不分诊断阶段或组织学亚型。造成这种差异的原因也是 由于知识方面的其他差距，如监测高危妇女的方法或了解生存情况 这些问题阻碍了减轻子宫内膜癌负担的工作。这次研讨会将把 来自流行病学、生物学、病理学、肿瘤学、遗传学和临床实践领域的专家 交流知识和思想。在这次研讨会上产生的讨论将指导研究 减少这种疾病的发病率、发病率和死亡率。 我们计划于2020年6月在密歇根州底特律举行为期两天的研讨会。将有七个环节在 具体主题，每个主题有三到四个演讲者和一名讨论负责人。在第二天结束时，那里 将举行小组讨论，以确定未来研究的优先事项 将对降低这种常见疾病的风险和提高存活率产生最大影响的倡议。

ABSTRACT Endometrial cancer incidence rates continue to rise, and it is the most common gynecologic cancer among women in the US. Distressingly, unlike most other cancers, the survival rates have been stagnant over the last several decades. There is a significant racial disparity in survival, with non-Hispanic black women having the poorest outcomes regardless of stage at diagnosis or histologic subtype. The reasons for this disparity, as well as other gaps in knowledge, such as approaches to monitor high risk women, or understanding survivorship issues, stand in the way of reducing the burden of endometrial cancer. This symposium will bring together experts from the fields of epidemiology, biology, pathology, oncology, genetics, and clinical practice to exchange knowledge and ideas. The discussions generated at and from this symposium will guide research to reduce incidence, morbidity and mortality from this disease. We plan a two-day symposium to be held in Detroit, Michigan, in June 2020. There will be seven sessions on specific topics, each with three to four speakers and a discussion leader. At the end of the second day, there will be group discussion sessions to develop priorities for future research that will identify the research initiatives that will have the greatest impact on reducing risk and improving survival from this common disease.
