ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
INCIDENCE AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
The most common gynecologic cancer—61,180 cases are diagnosed in the United States and 12,160 pts die annually. It is primarily a disease of postmenopausal women. Obesity, altered menstrual cycles, infertility, late menopause, and postmenopausal bleeding are commonly encountered in women with endometrial cancer. Women taking tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer recurrence and those taking estrogen replacement therapy are at a modestly increased risk. Peak incidence is in the sixth and seventh decades.
