Endometrial cancer (a type of uterine cancer) is usually diagnosed at an early stage, which allows for high cure rates of over 90%. The number of cases of endometrial cancer, however, is steadily rising in many parts of the world. It’s important to know some key facts about endometrial cancer, and Dr. Oliver Dorigo is here to answer 5 common questions about endometrial cancer in this video:

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in the U.S., and its risk is greatly borne by African-Americans.

That bothers Dr. Kemi Doll, a gynecologic oncologist with the University of Washington School of Medicine.

“The truth is, this is the most common gynecological cancer in the U.S.,” said Doll. “It’s four times more common than cervical cancer. It’s twice as common as ovarian cancer.”

If endometrial cancer is caught early, it is almost always curable, Doll said. The cancer affects the uterine lining and is typically accompanied by heavy menstrual bleeding. The median age for being diagnosed is 62, so a woman's risk is generally greater during or after menopause. But doctors are seeing the condition more in younger women, as well.

Another troubling reality with this disease is the strong racial disparity in survival of African-American women compared with Caucasian women. In the United States, black women have a 90 percent higher mortality rate than all other groups of women with this cancer, she said.

Groundbreaking new research could change the standard treatment for women who have advanced endometrial cancer. Dr. Natalie Azar shares insight into the findings and how big of a difference this could make.

Endometrial Cancer Signs & Symptoms (& Why They Occur)

Endometrial Cancer (also known as Endometrial carcinoma or Corpus cancer) is a cancer of the inner lining of the uterus known as the endometrium. Female patients (and patients with a uterus) are susceptible to endometrial cancer. Endometrial Cancer is caused by high levels of estrogen for prolonged periods of time or from “unopposed” estrogen, which can occur in some medical conditions and with the use of certain medications. Endometrial Cancer can occur in two types (Type 1 and Type 2), with each type causing particular signs and symptoms. In this lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms of Endometrial Cancer and why signs and symptoms occur.
