Endometrial Cancer: Condition Workup

In this obstetrics and gynaecology series, we explore Endometrial Cancer: its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, investigations, and management.

🧬 Understand the pathophysiology – abnormal proliferation of the endometrial lining, often linked to unopposed estrogen exposure.
⚠️ Identify key risk factors – obesity, PCOS, nulliparity, diabetes, tamoxifen use, and Lynch syndrome.
🩸 Recognize hallmark symptoms – postmenopausal bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, and pelvic discomfort.
🧪 Explore investigations – transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, and staging with imaging.
💉 Review treatment options – typically surgery (total hysterectomy), plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy depending on stage.
🛡️ Discuss prevention and screening – especially in high-risk patients (e.g., those with Lynch syndrome).

🎧 Ideal for medical students, clinicians, and women’s health advocates seeking a comprehensive overview of endometrial (uterine) cancer.
