About uterine cancer
In 2022, an estimated 65,950 new cases of uterine cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. and 12,550 women are expected to die from it, according to the American Cancer Society.
Among all women, uterine cancer mortality rates have increased by 1.8 percent per year from 2010 to 2017.
Endometrial cancer mainly affects post-menopausal women. It's uncommon in women under the age of 45.
Obesity is a strong risk factor for endometrial cancer. The cancer is twice as common in overweight women and more than three times as common in obese women.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding — either after menopause or between periods — is the most frequent symptom of endometrial cancer, along with pelvic pain.
