ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe the increase shown in the frequency of endometrial cancer in
a tertiary hospital in the last decades and its association with overweight and obesity.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective, comparative and observational study
based on information from the files of patients with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer
attended at the Oncology Service of the General Hospital of Mexico (2000-2017). Data
were compared with a previous study from 1966-1993.
Results: From 2000 to 2017, 785 patients were registered and in the global period of
44 years, 1045 patients were included in the study. In the 27-year period, 260 patients
were registered, and in the 17-year period, 785 patients were registered; that is, a 200%
increase in the frequency of this disease.
Conclusions: In this series the percentages of overweight and obesity rose from
46 to 72.5%. Endometrial cancer in women under 48 years of age increased from 19
to 28%. 30.5% of patients in early stages of endometrial cancer had risk factors for
tumor recurrence and 42% of the overall series had advanced neoplasms, which is
shown to affect their prognosis.
