Age Comparisons of Endometrial Cancer Clinicopathology and Treatment in the United States Military Health System
Within the MHS, age-related differences in endometrial cancer were confined to tumor histology, with younger women less likely and older women more likely to present with aggressive subtypes. This is consistent with that reported in the general U.S. population. Importantly, no age-related differences were observed in surgical management or receipt of adjuvant therapy when adjusted for tumor features. This may suggest the role of healthcare access in mitigating age-related treatment gaps observed in the general population.
