Endometrial cancer, a type of uterine cancer, is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system. It is estimated that about 67,000 people received an endometrial cancer diagnosis in 2024 within the U.S.
Endometrial cancer most commonly develops after menopause, between the ages of 50 and 60. Although the disease is slightly more common for white women, Black women have a greater risk of death from endometrial cancer. Symptoms of endometrial cancer may include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, unexplained weight loss, and pain during intercourse.
Endometrial cancer is diagnosed in four stages. Stage 1 endometrial cancer is located only in the uterus. Stage 2 indicates the cancer is in the uterus and the cervix. In stage 3, the cancer has spread outside of the uterus but not beyond the pelvic region, and stage 4 indicates the cancer has spread to the inner surfaces of the bowel, bladder, abdomen, or other organs. Endometrial cancer is generally diagnosed at an early stage and has an 81 percent five-year relative survival rate.
While the main risk factor for many cancers is advanced age, there are multiple additional risk factors for endometrial cancer. These include taking estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy after menopause or having a family history of endometrial cancer in a first-degree relative. They also include being diagnosed with obesity, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or endometrial hyperplasia. The treatment for endometrial cancer can vary depending on stage and subtypes. Treatments include surgical and radiation options, as well as developments in immunotherapy and targeted treatment options, such as pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
“Our oncology patient communities provide extremely valuable information and support when patients need it most,” said Eric Peacock, co-founder and president of MyHealthTeam. “We do not want anyone to face a diagnosis of endometrial cancer alone, and that is why we bring people together for support, encouragement, practical tips, and medically approved information from experts in the field.”
The new site within the MyHealthTeam portfolio, MyEndometrialCancerTeam, includes:
- Medically approved information about the condition, including symptoms, causes, and treatment and testing options
- Insights and education on treatments and promising new diagnostic and treatment therapies
- Community conversation and support from people with the same diagnosis
- Guidance on managing this disease
