Endometrial cancer Sample Clauses

Endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer poses a significant burden on the population as it is the commonest gynaecological cancer and the 4th commonest cancer in women (Xxxxxx et al. 1999). Most women with endometrial cancer are between 50 and 60 years of age and it is expected that with an ageing population the importance of this cancer will increase even further (Horn et al. 2007; Sorosky 2008). In 1983 Xxxxxxx et al. suggested that the development of endometrial cancer follows two distinct pathways based on their observation of the characteristics of patients with endometrial cancer (Xxxxxxx 1983). They found that obese women with signs of hyperoestrogenism such as anovulatory bleeding, infertility and late onset of menopause were more likely to develop highly and moderately differentiated tumours whilst women with none of those signs had a higher frequency of poorly differentiated and more aggressive type of cancer. Patients’ characteristics as described by Xxxxxxx are listed in Table 2. Although simplistic, this model is still in use today: Endometrial cancers are most frequently Type I, commonly endometrioid type and are oestrogen related occurring on a background of endometrial hyperplasia. In contrast, Type II cancers are rarer, consisting of high grade disease usually serous or clear cell histology, and occur in older women with no signs of hyperoestrogenism. Table 2 Different characteristics of women diagnosed with the 2 principal types of endometrial carcinoma as described by Bokhman Sign Type I Type II Menstrual function History of anovulatory bleeding No disturbances Reproductive function Decreased, frequent infertility No disturbances Onset of menopause Often after age 50 Often under age 50 Type of colpocytologic reaction in the postmenopause Oestrogenic Atrophic or transitional Ovarian status Hyperplasia of theca tissue Xxxxx – Xxxxxxxxx syndrome Feminising tumours Fibrosis Endometrial background Hyperplasia Atrophy State of myometrium Fibroid, internal endometriosis No changes Hyperlipidaemia Yes No Diabetes mellitus Yes No Hypertension Associated with obesity/DM No

Endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer occurs most commonly after menopause because it arises from the inner layer of the uterus called the endometrium that's due to abnormal growth of cells that can spread to other parts of the body. This sign is pain with urination, and vaginal bleeding not associated with a menstrual period (Xxxx et al., 2018).
