  • Title: [Risk factors in cancer of the endometrium].
    Author: Baldauf JJ, Ritter J, Ben Mansour A, Andrianivo J, Lecornu C, Gandar R.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1987 May; 82(5):315-22. PubMed ID: 3602806.
    Abstract:
    The authors evaluate the incidence of the main risk factors in endometrial cancer by comparing a continuous series of 101 patients with a matched reference series. Among these factors, obesity and multiparity are significantly more frequent in patients with endometrial cancer. All of these risk factors are related to a hyperestrogen level. Their knowledge may contribute to a policy of prevention of endometrial cancer, but does not permit its screening by limiting to women presenting these risk factors.
