Study Overview
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Learning about the risk factors for endometrial cancer in black women may help the study of endometrial cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying risk factors for endometrial cancer in black women.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
- Establish and evaluate procedures for conducting a hospital-based case-control study of risk factors for endometrial cancer in black women.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Participants complete questionnaires about lifestyle factors and their usual diet and measure their waist and hips. Saliva or buccal specimens are collected for future research.
