Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted usingmedical records of patients who were treated for cervical cancer between 2006 and 2009 at the Brazilian National CancerInstitute - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of black and non-black patients werecompared using the chi-square test. Survival functions over five years were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimatorand compared using the log-rank test. Associations between race and mortality risk were analyzed using the Coxproportional hazards model. P-values women, of whom 188 (12.7%) were black, 1,209 (81.6%) were non-black and 85 (5.7%) were of unspecified race.The age at diagnosis of the patients ranged from 19 to 84 years (mean 50.1 years; SD±13.2). Hemoglobin at the time of diagnosis (p=0.008) and absence of surgery as primary treatment (p = 0.005) were more frequentamong black women. Cox analysis adjusted for these two factors showed no statistically significant difference in themortality risk associated with cervical cancer among black and non-black women (HR=1.1 95% CI 0.9-1.5; p=0.27).Conclusion: After adjusting for hemoglobin levels and surgery, race alone was not shown to be a prognostic factorfor patients with cervical cancer.
