Uterine cancer: risk factors you should know. Around 24 out of 100,000 women develop endometrial cancer every year.
The main risk factor is the constant and continuous stimulation of the uterine lining by the hormone estrogen. overweight menopausal women who have not been pregnant and whose last menstrual period occurred after the age of 52 are at increased risk. Women who have already had colon cancer have a fivefold increased risk of uterine cancer. The treatment method is chosen depending on the stage at which the cancer has already progressed.
