Objective

While the cause of uterine cancer disparities in African-American women is multifactorial, there is significant evidence suggesting a genetic basis of disparity. Racial differences in the molecular landscape of uterine cancer have yet to be fully characterized. We aim to examine uterine cancer tumors stratified by race and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
