Why Uterine Cancer Screening Matters

Uterine (endometrial) cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer. When detected early, it is highly treatable. Our comprehensive screening program focuses on early detection and prevention, following international guidelines tailored to your age, risk factors, and medical history.

Regular screening can identify precancerous changes before they develop into cancer, significantly improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.

Risk Factors for Uterine Cancer

Obesity

Excess body fat increases estrogen levels, which can stimulate endometrial growth.

Age

Most cases occur in women over 50, particularly during and after menopause.

Family History

Genetic predisposition including Lynch syndrome increases risk significantly.

Hormonal Factors

Early menstruation, late menopause, or estrogen-only hormone therapy.

PCOS

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome causes hormonal imbalances that increase risk.

Tamoxifen Use

Breast cancer treatment medication can increase uterine cancer risk.
