| Abstract | To assess the pattern of corpus uteri cancer (CUC) in individual states of the USA according to ethnicity.Population-based cancer registries from 29 states and the District of Columbia with information on ethnicity for African-American women (AA) and Caucasian-American women (CA) were extracted from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (1998–2002, 2003–2007) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER; 2008–2010) databases. Rate ratios (RRs) were calculated with respect to ethnicity, age, state, and region.In southern states, AA had a lower CUC burden among women aged <60 years (AA/CA RR = 0.67; 95 % CI 0.64–0.70), whereas it was higher among women aged ≥60 years (AA/CA RR = 1.22; 95 % CI 1.19–1.26). In other regions, the lower CUC burden among AA aged <60 years was true in all states; however, the CUC burden among AA aged ≥60 years was similar to that of CA. Data for the most recent period (2008–2010) indicate that the age-dependent crossover in CUC burden was not anymore restricted to the South, but also occurred in other regions. Overall, women in the South have had the lowest CUC burden compared with that in all other regions, irrespective of ethnicity and age.Significant geographic and ethnic variations in the CUC burden exist in the USA. The incidence of hysterectomy could be a factor underlying the geographic variations in CUC burden and particular attention should be given to older AA in southern states. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
