Endometrial Cancer
Known as womb cancer or cancer of the lining of the uterus. The lifetime risk of a getting endometrial cancer is 1 in 100 (1%) and peak incidence is after menopause in 50s and 60s, hence it’s important for women in the menopause to be aware of the signs and symptoms. High BMI, diabetes and blood pressure also increase the risk of this type of cancer.
Uterine walls are very muscular and it takes a long time for the cancerous cells to spread beyond the uterus. This cancer is commonly detected at an early stage and is often cured by a hysterectomy.
