Summary (AI generated)

When discussing cancer disparities, it is important to clarify that I am referring to differences in incidents, prevalence, mortality, and survival rates. Specifically, I am focusing on the disparities between black women and women of European ancestry. Despite similar incidents of Uterine Cancer among white and black women in the United States, black women have twice the mortality rates. To further explore this issue, I conducted a study for my master's thesis in New York City. This microcosm allowed me to examine if the situation in the city reflects the national trend. The findings revealed that over a span of approximately 20 years, black women in New York City surpassed white women in terms of the incidence of Uterine Cancer.
