Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Williams Gynecology, 3e AB - In the United States, endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Risk factors include obesity and advancing age. As these factors are now more prevalent, the incidence of endometrial cancer continues to increase. Fortunately, patients usually seek medical attention early due to vaginal bleeding, and endometrial biopsy leads quickly to diagnosis. The primary treatment is hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) and staging lymphadenectomy for most women. Three quarters will have stage I disease that is curable by surgery alone. Patients with more advanced disease typically require postoperative combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or both.
