What is Uterus - Endometrial Cancer?
Uterus – Endometrial Cancer refers to the malignancy that originates in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. It is the most common type of cancer affecting the female reproductive system. This cancer typically occurs in postmenopausal women but can also develop in younger women.
Causes and Risk Factors:
- Hormonal Imbalance: Changes in estrogen levels without the counterbalancing effect of progesterone.
- Obesity: Increased fat cells can produce extra estrogen.
- Age and Menstrual History: Postmenopausal women or those who started menstruating at a young age or reached menopause later have a higher risk.
- History of Endometrial Hyperplasia: A precancerous condition involving abnormal cell growth in the endometrium.
- Family History: Genetic predisposition can contribute to a higher risk.
