Description:Objective.
During 2000–2014, age-standardized five-year net survival for cervical cancer was 63–64% in the United States. Using data from CONCORD-3, we analyzed cervical cancer survival trends by race, stage and period of diagnosis.
Methods.
Data from 41 state-wide population-based cancer registries on 138,883 women diagnosed with cervical cancer during 2001–2014 were available. Vital status was followed up until December 31, 2014. We estimated age-standardized five-year net survival, by race (Black or White), stage and calendar period of diagnosis (2001–2003, 2004–2008, 2009–2014) in each state, and for all participating states combined.
Results.
White women were most commonly diagnosed with localized tumors (45–50%). However, for Black women, localized tumors were the most common stage (43.0%) only during 2001–2003. A smaller proportion of Black women received cancer-directed surgery than White women.
Conclusions.
Despite similar screening coverage for both Black and White women and improvements in stage-specific survival, Black women still have poorer survival than White women. This may be partially explained by inequities in access to optimal treatment. The results from this study highlight the continuing need to address the disparity in cervical cancer survival between White and Black women in the United States.
