The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) has developed guidelines for physicians to follow in treating various cancers. Within this study of 83,673 women with endometrial cancer, 59.5% of women were treated according to the NCCN guidelines. The findings suggest following NCCN guidelines for treatment of endometrial cancer improves survival. Black or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander race and lower neighborhood socioeconomic status has worse survival rates compared with other groups, indicating the importance of exploring other factors that may shape treatment across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status groups.
