Abstrakt: This article, titled "OC21.05: Assessing racial disparities in sonographic detection of endometrial cancer," compares the effectiveness of different methods (transvaginal sonogram, sonohysterogram, and endometrial aspiration) in detecting endometrial cancer or hyperplasia (ECH) between black and non-black women. The study included 1,840 women over the age of 50 who underwent endometrial evaluation. The results showed that there were no significant racial disparities in the detection rates of ECH between black and non-black women. However, the completion rate of transvaginal sonograms was lower in black women compared to non-black women, with fibroids negatively impacting the likelihood of completion.
