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.

"I imagine I would have, as I’m sure so many others do, headed to the Internet, reading both accurate and inaccurate information. While much of my visit with my genetic counselor feels like a blur, I left that meeting with a list of answered questions, referrals to specialists, contact information for virtual support groups, and a friend by my side holding my hand. I am grateful that I know about my mutation and live by the phrase “knowledge is power.”

But when I imagine the thousands of people receiving the news that they have Lynch through a report, I prefer to believe that knowledge is power only when it is accompanied by context and support. March is colon cancer awareness month, and March 22nd is Lynch Syndrome Awareness Day. There is no better time to make a plan to talk about the history of cancer in your family with your loved ones, including the tough topic of colon and rectal cancers; consult a genetic counselor. And arm yourself not only with knowledge but context and support."

Learn about our dedicated Lynch Syndrome Center - https://www.dana-farber.org/lynchsyndrome Jeffrey Meyerhardt, MD, MPH, Clinical Director of Dana-Farber's Gastrointestinal Cancer Center, discusses research on the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and cancer risk for patients with Lynch syndrome and the general public.

Video abstract of review paper "The genetic basis of Lynch syndrome and its implications for clinical practice and risk management" published in the open access journal The Application of Clinical Genetics by Stephanie A Cohen and Anna Leininger.

Lynch syndrome is the most common cause of hereditary colon cancer, and accounts for as much as 3% of all colon and endometrial cancers. The identification and management of individuals with Lynch syndrome have evolved over the past 20 years, yet the syndrome remains vastly underdiagnosed. It is important for clinicians to recognize individuals and families who are at risk in order to be able to manage them appropriately and reduce their morbidity and mortality from this condition. This review will touch on the history of Lynch syndrome, the current knowledge of genotype--phenotype correlations, the cancers associated with Lynch syndrome, and management of individuals who are gene carriers.
