Slide 1-

Endometrial Cancer Faina Linkov, PhD Research Assistant Professor University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute
Slide 2-

Endometrial Cancer Strong association with excess weight
Slide 3-

Adipose tissue: Consequences of Obesity on Cancer Development Obesity has been implicated in the development of Type 2 diabetes Heart disease Stroke Hypertension Gallbladder disease Osteoarthritis Sleep apnea Asthma Psychological disorders or difficulties Some cancers, including ovarian, cervical, breast, and endometrial Dyslipidemia Complications of pregnancy Hirsuitism Menstrual abnormalities Stress incontinence Increased surgical risk
Slide 4-

Endometrial Cancer and Lifestyle
Slide 5-

Important Definitions Obesity: having a very high amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass, or Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher for adults. Body Mass Index (BMI): a measure of weight in relation to height, specifically weight in kilograms divided by the square of his or her height in meters. Morbid Obesity-100 pounds above ideal weight or BMI over 40 (indication for bariatric surgery) Bariatric surgery is the term for operations to help promote weight loss.
Slide 6-

RISK FACTORS FOR ENDOMETRIAL CANCER Early menarche (age 52) Infertility or nulliparous Obesity Treatment with tamoxifen for breast cancer Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) after menopause Diet high in animal fat Diabetes Age greater than 40 Caucasian women Family history of endometrial cancer or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) Personal history of breast or ovarian cancer Prior radiation therapy for pelvic cancer
Slide 7-

Endometrial Carcinoma Etiology Unnoposed estrogen hypothesis: exposure to unopposed estrogens Pathology Spreads through uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and out into peritoneal cavity Metastasizes via blood and lymphatic system
Slide 8-

SYMPTOMS OF ENDOMETRIAL CANCER Symptoms Non-menstrual bleeding or discharge Especially post-menopausal bleeding Heavy bleeding Dysuria Pain during intercourse Pain and/or mass in pelvic area Weight loss Back pain
Slide 9-

ENDOMETRIAL CANCER Diagnosis Pelvic examination Pap smear (detect cancer spread to cervix) Endometrial biopsy Dilation and curettage Transvaginal ultrasound Treatment Surgery Hysterectomy Salpingo-oophorectomy Pelvic lymph node dissection Laparoscopic lymph node sampling Radiation therapy Chemotherapy Hormone therapy Progesterone Tamoxifen
Slide 10-

Endometrial hyperplasia Overgrowth of the glandular epithelium of the endometrial lining Usually occurs when a patient is exposed to unopposed estrogen, either estrogenically or because of anovulation Rates of neoplasm simple hyperplasia: 1%. complex hyperplasia with atypia: 30%
Slide 11-

Endometrial Hyperplasia Complex hyperplasia with atypia One study found incidence of concomitant endometrial cancer in 40% of cases Hysterectomy or high dose progestin tx Simple Often regress spontaneously Progestin treatment used for treating bleeding may help in treating hyperplasia as well
Slide 12-

Estrogen dependent disease Prolonged exposure without the balancing effects of progesterone Premalignant potential Endometrial hyperplasia Simple => 1% Complex => 3% Simple with atypia => 8% Complex with atypia => 29%
Slide 13-

Reduced Risk Oral Contraceptives Combined OC => 50% reduced rate Actual reduction number small because uncommon in women of child bearing age Long term offers protection Reduced risk presumably => progesterone Tobacco Smoking Some evidence that it reduces the rate Smokers have lower levels of estrogen and lower rate of obesity
Slide 14-

Prevention and Survival Early detection is best prevention Treating precancerous hyperplasia Hormones (progestin) D&C Hysterectomy 10 ~ 30% untreated develop into cancer Average 5 year survival Stage I => 72 ~ 90% Stage II=> 56 ~ 60% Stage III => 32 ~ 40% Stage IV => 5 ~ 11%
Slide 15-

Potentially modifiable risk factors Dietary factors Isoflavones: Phytoestrogens that have properties similar to selective estrogen receptor modulators Soy, beans, chick peas…
Slide 16-

Dietary fiber Increases estrogen excretion and decreases estrogen reuptake: whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and seaweeds
Slide 17-

Exercise?

Summary points Endometrial cancer is one of the leading gynecological cancers in the US Obesity is one of the key factors involved in Endometrial cancer development More research is needed to explore modifiable risk factors in endometrial cancer development
