 Endometrial Carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecologic
malignancy. The number of newly diagnosed cases in Europe
was nearly 100,000 in 2012. Cumulative risk for a diagnosis of
endometrial cancer is 1.71%.
 The incidence is increasing worldwide in recent years.
 Peak incidence 50 - 70 years (75% are postmenopausal with
median age of 62 years). Fewer than 5% under age of 40.
 4th most common malignancy in women after breast, lung &
colorectal cancer(in USA, accounting for 6% of cancers).
 In 2017, an estimated 61,380 women were diagnosed with EC,
and approximately 11,000 died from this disease.
 Twice as common as ovarian cancer and three times more
common than invasive carcinoma of the cervix.
 8th most common cause of death from malignancy.
 Family history of tumor is higher (12-28%).
Introduction & Epidemiology
Risk Factors
 Older age.
 Early menarche & Late menopause, 2-fold increased risk for EC.
 Unopposed estrogen therapy increases the risk for EC 10- to
30-fold if treatment continues 5 years or more.
 Nulliparity. Race- white.
 (Obesity, PCOS, HRT).
 Tamoxifen use (Risk increases with :duration of therapy &
Cumulative dose).
 Previous pelvic irradiation.
 Hypertension & Diabetes mellitus. Chronic liver diseases
 Lynch syndrome, an autosomal dominant inherited cancer
susceptibility accounts for 2–5% of EC, women have an
approximate 70% lifetime risk of developing EC.
Risk Factors
 Estrogen-producing tumours, or ovarian granulosa, and theca
cell tumours.
 Women with a high intake of animal fat and fried food have a
2.1-fold increased risk for endometrial carcinoma.
 Increased cancer risk was suggestively associated with butter
intake, even if this result was based on only two studies. There
was a significant negative association of dairy products intake
and EC risk among women with a higher BMI.

The risk for endometrial cancer is reduced by:
 Combined oral contraceptive pill. (50%).
 Smoking: It increases concentrations of sex-hormone-binding
globulin, thereby lowering levels of bioavailable estrogen.
 Increased coffee consumption is associated with decreased risk
of endometrial cancer.(Alessandra Lafranconi, et al. Nutrients
2017, 9).
 High vegetable intake are related to a lower EC risk
(Ricceri et al. BMC Cancer (2017) 17:757).
 Women with a high intake of complex carbohydrates,
predominantly breads and cereals, have a decreased risk (RR
= 0.6) after controlling for body mass.
Some of Common Risk Factors Explained:
 1-(PCOS):
 Women with PCOS have a nearly 3 times increased risk for EC.
 An association between PCOS and EC was first suggested
over fifty years ago.
 It is characterized by prolonged anovulation with consequent
exposure to estrogen unopposed by progesterone which may
explain why women with PCOS have an elevated risk of EC.
(an estrogen-sensitive disease).
 Hyperandrogenism:
 Is one major component of all 3 clinical diagnostic criteria for
PCOS, it is related to the chronic anovulation. Peripheral
conversion of androgens to estrogen leads to the chronic
exposure endometrium to estrogen and may result in
endometrial hyperplasia and EC.
 Hyperandrogenism, itself, also is a common finding in EC. It
has been shown that androgen receptor and 5a-reductases are
present in human endometrium. In some PCOS women, with
over expression of endometrial androgen receptors disordered
androgen action within the endometrium may result in EC.
(Dumesic and Lobo, 2013).
 PCOS and obesity are linked through their common symptom of
Insulin Resistance (IR), an important potential risk factor of EC.
 High levels of insulin induced by IR have direct and indirect
effects for the development of EC.
 Insulin directly stimulates endometrial cell proliferation and
activates mitogenic and anti-apoptotic signaling systems in
endometrium and also, the network among insulin estrogen
and IGF-1 enhances the risk of the development of EC.
Indirectly, insulin causes changes in sex hormone levels,
including increases in the levels of estrogen that promotes the
risk of EC.

Pathophysiology of PCOS
 2- Obesity:
 Obesity is defined by WHO, as “abnormal or excessive fat
accumulation that may impair health.
 Excess weight by up to 22.7 kg have a threefold increased risk
for EC.
 The Most well-known cancer linked to obesity is EC. Obesity
has also been related to ovarian, breast colon cancers,
esophageal, pancreatic and kidney.
 EC excess risk is associated with endocrine and inflammatory
effects of adipose tissue. Adipocytes express aromatase that
converts ovarian androgens into estrogens, which induce
endometrial proliferation. SHBG are lower in obese women, so
level of unbound biologically active hormone is higher. level of
insulin-binding globulins is reduced and free insulin levels are
elevated. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) also exert
a proliferative effect on the endometrium with other growth
factors.
 Adipose tissue secretes inflammatory factors called adipokines,
partly responsible for the IR that accompanies obesity and
therefore play a role in the augmented endometrial
proliferation. Adiponectin, produced by adipose tissue has an
inhibiting effect on the proliferation, but it is inversely
correlated with fat mass.
Tamoxifen:-3
 Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen agent with a modest
estrogenic activity belongs to a group called selective estrogen
receptor modulators, is widely used as adjunctive therapy for
women with breast cancer. In standard dosages, it might be
associated with endometrial proliferation, hyperplasia, polyp
formation, invasive carcinoma, and uterine sarcoma.
 The increased relative risk of developing endometrial cancer for
women taking Tamoxifen is two to three times higher than that
of an age-matched population.
 Rate of endometrial cancer occurrence among Tamoxifen users
who were administered 20 mg/d was 1.6 per 1,000 patient
years, compared with 0.2 per 1,000 patient years among
control patients taking a placebo.
 The effect of progestin on the endometrium of women
receiving Tamoxifen is not known.
 Women taking Tamoxifen should be informed about the risks of
endometrial proliferation, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial
cancer, and uterine sarcomas.
 Any abnormal vaginal bleeding, bloody vaginal discharge,
staining, or spotting should be investigated.
 Postmenopausal women taking Tamoxifen should be closely
monitored for symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.
 Premenopausal women treated with Tamoxifen require no
additional monitoring beyond routine gynecologic care.
 Pretreatment screening of endometrial polyps in post-
menopausal women with transvaginal ultrasonography, and
sonohysterography when needed, or office hysteroscopy before
initiation of Tamoxifen therapy.
Reference: ACOG Committee opinion No.601(June 2014).
4-Diabetes:
 IR, hyperinsulinemia, and chronic inflammation associated
with diabetes are all associated strongly with cancer. Changes
in bioavailable ovarian steroid hormone occur in diabetes (the
increasing levels of estrogen and androgen and decreasing
level of progesterone) are also considered potentially
carcinogenic conditions for the breast, endometrium, and
ovaries. In addition, interaction among insulin, insulin-like
growth factors (IGFs), and estrogen & progesterone, could act
synergistically during cancer development.
 C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory biomarker induced
by IL-6, increased by IR and associated with an increased risk
of EC in postmenopausal women, therefore, EC may be
associated with chronic inflammation in T2DM.
Reference:(Kyong Hye Joung, et al. BioMed Research
International, Volume 2015).
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA(EH)
 EH is a pre-cancerous, non-physiological, non-invasive
proliferation of the endometrium that results in increased
volume of endometrial tissue, associated with prolonged
estrogen stimulation of the endometrium without
progesterone.
 EH usually occurs after menopause, when ovulation stops and
progesterone is no longer made. It also can occur during
perimenopause, when ovulation may not occur regularly.
 The most common sign is AUB.
 Molecular genetics : Mutation in PTEN genes ( 20% of
hyperplasia ).
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA(EH):
 Since EH is a precursor to cancer, all risk-factors of EC
could be related to EH.
 Classification : According to architectural & cytological
factors endometrial, it is divided into :
1. Simple hyperplasia
2. Complex hyperplasia
3. Atypical hyperplasia
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA
The endometrial cavity is opened to reveal lush fronds of hyperplastic
endometrium.
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA
Endometrial cystic hyperplasia
Simple hyperplasia:
 Affect the glands and stroma equally
 Cystic glandular hyperplasia- is a variant, the glands
shows cystic dilatation (Swiss cheese) Epithelial growth
pattern and cytology are similar to those of proliferative
endometrium. Mitosis not prominent.
 Malignancy occur in 1%
Simple hyperplasia without atypia
Simple hyperplasia with atypia
Complex hyperplasia:
 Increase in the number and size of the glands, marked gland
crowding and branching occurs. Gland form finger like
projection but not invasion towards stroma. Malignancy occurs
in 3%
COMPLEX HYPERPLASIA WITH ATYPIA COMPLEX HYPERPLASIA WITHOUT ATYPIA
Atypical hyperplasia
 Simple atypical hyperplasia: there is cytological atypia
within the glandular cells- such as loss of polarity, vesicular
nuclei, prominent nucleoli, cells become rounded and loss the
normal perpendicular orientation to the basement membrane.
8% may progress to carcinoma.
 Complex atypical hyperplasia: consists of back-to-back
crowding of glands lined by atypical cells. Lipid laden “ foam”
cells may be noted in the intervening stroma. 23% to 48%
women have the chances to develop carcinoma.

ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA
ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA
:Metformin for Endometrial Hyperplasia Treatment
 Metformin is anti-proliferative on the endometrium, directly
activates adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein
Kinase (AMPK), also promotes AMPK activation by liver kinase
B1. AMPK activation inhibits cancer incidence.
 Blocks the epidermal growth factor signaling pathway.
 Chemosensitizes to progestins.
 Reduces EC cell line invasion and metastasis.
 850 mg twice daily for 7 to 30 days results in reduction of
atypical EH (AEH) and endometrioid EC.
 Metformin use is limited by its gastrointestinal adverse effect
profile.
 Reference: Healthcare 2017, 5, 30
 In conclusion it leads to reversion of AEH to a normal histology
and decreased cell proliferation biomarkers staining, from
51.94% to 34.47%.
 Reference: Gynecological Oncology, October 2017,Volume 147, Issue 1.
EC.PATHOLOGY
 Most forms of cancer arising in the endometrium are
adenocarcinomas.
 Endometrioid adenocarcinomas are the most common.
 lesions may be papillary, secretory, or ciliated.
 Squamous differentiation is a common feature.
 Degree of carcinoma differentiation may be based on
cytological or architectural criteria.
 FIGO has established architectural criteria that may be
applied to most cell types(For endometrial carcinomas):
 Tumor grade predicts the biologic behavior of EC.
 Grade1: Well differentiated adenocarcinoma, less than 5%
solid growth, ( with easily recognizable glandular pattern ),
superficial invasion with little propensity for nodal spread.
 Grade 2: Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with partly
solid growth <50%, showing well formed glands mixed with
solids sheets of malignant cells .
 Grade3: Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with
predominantly solid growth >50%( solid sheets of cell with
barely recognizable gland with greater degree of nuclear atypia
and mitotic activity), often deeply invasive and metastatic.
 All non-endometrioid carcinoma classified as grade-3
irrespective of histological pattern.
EC Types:
A. According to the clinicopathological & molecular studies:
 1. Type - I
 2. Type – II
B. According to the histopathology:
 Endometrioid adenocarcinoma (80-85%).
 Adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation(Squamous
differentiation is very common).
 Adenosquamous carcinoma (Pure squamous carcinomas of
endometrium are rare).
 Serous carcinoma.
 Clear cell carcinoma.
 Malignant mixed müllerian tumor(MMTs).
A. Type - I Endometrial carcinoma:
 It is the most commonest type, about 80% of all cases. Usually
occurs in 55-65 years. The majority are well differentiated and
estrogen related, present histologically as a endometrioid tumor
associated with atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Better
prognosis is better with superficial myometrial invasion.
Mutation in PTEN tumor suppressor gene – 80%. PIK3CA
mutation – 39%. Mutation in KRAS gene. Mutation in p53 gene
( upto 50% in poorly differentiated endometrioid carcinoma ).
 Type – II tumor: About 15% of EC, in the sitting of
endometrial atrophy, Not related to estrogen stimulation or
endometrial hyperplasia, poorly differentiated, high grade
tumor with poor prognostic cell type like - serous endometrial
carcinoma, clear cell tumor. Usually in older or postmenopausal
women and not related to obesity, HTN, DM. Aggressive in
behavior. Mutation in p53 gene. Aneuploidy. PIK3CA.
B. 1-Endometrioid carcinoma:
 EC either localized polypoid tumor or diffuse tumor involving
the endometrial surface.
 Endometrial adenocarcinoma formed well to poorly
differentiated glandular structure mixed with solid sheet of
malignant cells. Poorly differentiated type have barely
recognizable glands and greater degree of nuclear atypia and
mitotic activity.
 Up to 20% of endometrioid carcinoma contain foci of squamous
differentiation.
This uterus is not enlarged, but there is an irregular
mass in the upper fundus that proved to be
endometrial adenocarcinoma

Endometrioid carcinoma
Endometrioid carcinoma
2-Serous carcinoma:
 Arise in the sitting of small atrophic uterus, often form large
bulky tumor or deep invasion in to the myometrium. Precursor
of serous carcinoma is endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma.
Lesion may have papillary growth pattern composed of cells
with marked cytological atypia (high nuclear to cytoplasmic
ratio, atypical mitotic figure, heterocromastia and prominent
nucleoli.
 Different from adenocarcinoma by marked cytological atypia.
 5 - 10 % of all endometrial carcinomas.
 Psammoma bodies often present.
 High tendency to invade lymphatics.
Serous carcinoma
Serous carcinoma
3-Clear cell:
 4 % of all endometrial carcinomas.
 Aggressive.
 Often associated with an advanced stage of disease and thus,
poor prognosis.
 Solid, tubular or papillary patterns of growth.
 Nuclear grade is usually high.
Clear cell
Clear cell
4-MMTs:
 Consist of endometrial adenocarcinomas with malignant
changes in the stroma. The stroma tends to differentiate into a
verity of malignant mesodermal components, including muscle,
cartilage and even osteoid.
 Occur in the post-menopausal women and present with post
menopausal bleeding. This is a highly malignant tumor.
 They are fleshier than adenocarcinomas, be bulky and polypoid
and sometimes protrude through the cervical os.
 On histology: tumor consists of adenocarcinoma mixed with
malignant mesenchymal elements ( striated muscle, adipose
tissue, bone).

Mucinous:-5
 Primary adenocarcinoma of endometrium in which most of the
cells contain prominent intracytoplasmic mucin and resemble
colonic epithelium.
Mucinous Adenocarcinoma
Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma
Staging:
 Over 80% of patients present with early stage disease due to symptoms of
AUB, with an overall excellent prognosis. EC is traditionally surgically staged
and the treatment varies by stage, grade, regional guidelines, and expertise.
 REVISED FIGO STAGING (2010)
 STAGE I: Tumour confined to the corpus uteri.
 Ia: No or less than half myometrial invasion.
 Ib: Invasion equal to or more than half of myometrium.
 Stage II: Cervical stromal invasion but not beyond the uterus.
 Stage III: Local and/or regional spread of the tumour.
 IIIa: Tumour invades the serosa of the corpus uteri and/or adnexa.
 IIIb: Vaginal and/or parametrial involvement.
 IIIc: Metastases to pelvic and /or paraaortic lymph nodes.
 Stage IV: Tumour invades bladder and/or bowel mucosa, and/or
distant metastases.
 IVa: Tumour invasion of bladder and/or bowel mucosa.
 IVb: Distant metastases, including abdominal metastases and/or
inguinal lymph nodes.
Routes of spread:
 1. Direct spread : slow growing (to the myometrium & serosa
of the uterus leading to perforation and peritonitis (commonest
cause of death). Downward spread to the cervix which if
blocked, pyometra results.
 2. Lymphatic : (Usually late. Three separate lymphatic
pathways: a- Paracervical and Parametrial – pelvic LN3, b-
Ovarian – para aortic LN, c-round ligament –inguinal LN).
 3. Heamatogenous spread : (Rare & late in carcinoma,
Common & early in sarcoma, to the lower part of the anterior
vaginal wall).
 4. Implantation : along the cervix to vaginal vault, along
fallopian tubes to the peritoneal cavity.
EC. Clinical presentation:
EC. Clinical presentation:
 1. Asymptomatic.
 2. Abnormal uterine bleeding.
 3. Abnormal menstrual cycle & Menorrhagia.
 4. Lower abdominal pain & pelvic pain.
 5. Vaginal discharge in post menopausal women.
 PATIENT PROFILE: usually nulliparous, postmenopausal or
h/o delayed menopause; Younger women with PCOD, infertility,
obese, hypertensive & diabetic.
 90% of patients with EC present with PMB.
 Watery & offensive, bloody or purulent discharge due to
pyometra.
 There may be ascites.
 Abdominal lump due to pyometra, fibroid, Hepatomegaly.
EC. Clinical presentation:
 Bimanual examination: Size of the uterus: small, normal or
large, usually mobile. In advanced cases it is fixed and
irregular. Adnexae : mass in case of simultaneous tumour or
secondary growth in ovary.
 Parametrium : for induration.
 Cul-de-sac : for nodularity.
Management: Pretreatment Evaluation:
 Investigations: CBC, LFTs, RFTs, Chest x-ray, Intravenous
pyelography.
 Transvaginal sonography: ET>4mm, a polypoid endometrial
mass or collection of fluid within the uterus requires further
evaluation.
 Pap’s smear
 Endometrial sampling: (D&C Gold standard, indicated in:
inadequate sample by aspiration biopsy, Cervical stenosis or
patient intolerance, bleeding recurs after a negative
endometrial biopsy), false negative : 10%.
 Hysteroscopy with curettage: office hysteroscopy is a
simple procedure that can provide a good visualization of the
whole uterine cavity without cervical dilation and usually
without anesthesia. Excellent method for targeted biopsy that
one may miss at D & C or endometrial aspiration.
 Combined use of hysteroscopy and histopathology gives 100%
accuracy. Identification of other uterine pathology as polyps
and submucous myomas. Highest accuracy in diagnosing end.
polyps with sensitivity & specificity of 95.3% and 95.4%,
respectively.
 In conclusion: hysteroscopy is highly accurate and clinically
useful in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. In cases that EC
is suspected, peritoneal spilling through the fallopian tubes can
be reduced by a low intrauterine pressure of up to 70 mmHg.
Reference: (N. Koutlaki, et al. Gynecol Surg (2010) 7:335–341).
 Magnetic resonance imaging: The goal of MRI is to identify
patients preoperatively who would benefit from abdominopelvic
lymph node dissection and adjuvant therapy while avoiding
over treating early stage patients with unnecessary
lymphadenectomies, but (differentiating benign mimics of
Fibroid, Adenomyosis, Polyp & EH).
 In addition, MRI is excellent in assessing tumor size and
extension, myometrial & parametrial/cervical invasion.
 Preparation:
 To minimize bowel motion: Fasting for 4-6 hours prior to the
study, anti-peristaltic medications prior to exam, empty bladder
to avoid motion artifact.
Basic Protocol:
 Torso or Cardiac Coil.
 Axial/ Sagittal T1-pre and -post contrast images.
 Axial/Sagittal T2-wt images with fat saturation.
 Dynamic contrast enhanced images - 40 and 90sec.
 Axial and sagittal diffusion weighted images.
 In most studies, more than 80% of patients with elevated
CA-125 levels are found to have extrauterine disease at the
time of exploratory laparotomy.
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER
Malignant mixed müllerian tumour of the Uterus
Treatments Summery:
 Surgery
 Chemotherapy
 Radiotherapy
 Hormonal therapy
 Based on tumour grade and depth of myometrial invasion.
 Surgical: Stage 1, Stages 2&3: TAH+BSO,
(Wertheim’s operation) and free pelvic fluid or saline
washings for cytological evaluation + biopsy specimens
(mesentery). Lymph node sampling should be strongly
considered for patients with presumed stage I, grade 3 lesions
or for lesions of any grade with significant myometrial invasion.
-Patients with stage II or III disease or with disease of an
unfavorable histologic type should also undergo para-aortic and
pelvic lymph node sampling.
Treatments Summery:
 Surgical: Stage 4: surgical option: Non
 Hormonal therapy: Progestins for recurrent disease.
 Chemotherapy: In advanced, recurrent, or metastatic
disease.
Platinum doublet chemotherapy remains the mainstay for first-
line systemic therapy in patients with advanced EC. Agents used:
doxorubicin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, ifosfamide, ixabepilone.
 Radiotherapy:Indications:
 Patient medically unfit for surgery.
 Surgically inoperable disease.
 Those with high risk of recurrence
 Stage III or IV disease.
 Contraindications: pelvic infections, previous pelvic
radiation, previous laparotomy/adhesions.
Treatments Summery:
 Other targeted therapies:
Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody
and in 2004 it became the first clinically used angiogenesis
inhibitor(bevacizumab with cytotoxic agents has demonstrated a
potential survival benefit).
 Other anti-angiogenic agents: thalidomide, aflibercept,
sorafenib, and the small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors
(TKIs) dovitinib, nintedanib, brivanib, and sunitinib.
 Inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
 Metformin (oral biguanide agent). PARP inhibitors
 Immunotherapy, Pembrolizumab was granted FDA approval for
tissue or site agnostic use in the treatment of patients with
unresectable or metastatic solid tumors, including EC.
Reference: Makker et al. Gynecologic Oncology Research and
Practice (2017) 4:19.
Postoperative Care:
 Patients with EC should be examined at regular intervals with
complete physicals and Papanicolaou smears. Ultrasonic
thickness of more than 4 mm indicates the need for
endometrial sampling. Frequency of visits and duration of
follow-up must be based on the likelihood for disease
recurrence in each patient.
 CXR, Regular serum CA-125 estimation, Mammography, CT,
MRI: When indicated, Every 4 months for the first 2 years,
Every 6 months for the next 2 years, thereafter annually.
 Prognostic Factors: depth of myometrial invasion, histologic
type, original tumor volume, pelvic lymph nodes involvement,
extension to the cervix, adnexal metastasis, positive peritoneal
washings.
5-years survival rate:
 Stage I : 83%
 Stage II : 71%
 Stage III: 39%
 Stage IV : 27%
 Prevention: Controlling obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes
help reduce risk. Restriction use of estrogen after menopause in
non-hysterectomised women. Estrogen + cyclical progesterone.
Report any abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge. Screening of
high risk women in postmenopausal period. Treatment of
endometrial hyperplasia.

Endometrial carcinoma.lecture by Associate Professor Dr Aisha Elbareg

  • 1. EndometrialCarcinoma Associate Clinical Professor Dr. Aisha El-Bareg, MD, PhD. Senior Consultantin (Obs & Gyn)/ Reproductive Medicine Faculty of Medicine, Misurata University. LIBYA aishaelbareg@med.misuratau.edu.ly
  • 2.  Endometrial Carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy. The number of newly diagnosed cases in Europe was nearly 100,000 in 2012. Cumulative risk for a diagnosis of endometrial cancer is 1.71%.  The incidence is increasing worldwide in recent years.  Peak incidence 50 - 70 years (75% are postmenopausal with median age of 62 years). Fewer than 5% under age of 40.  4th most common malignancy in women after breast, lung & colorectal cancer(in USA, accounting for 6% of cancers).  In 2017, an estimated 61,380 women were diagnosed with EC, and approximately 11,000 died from this disease.  Twice as common as ovarian cancer and three times more common than invasive carcinoma of the cervix.  8th most common cause of death from malignancy.  Family history of tumor is higher (12-28%). Introduction & Epidemiology
  • 3. Risk Factors  Older age.  Early menarche & Late menopause, 2-fold increased risk for EC.  Unopposed estrogen therapy increases the risk for EC 10- to 30-fold if treatment continues 5 years or more.  Nulliparity. Race- white.  (Obesity, PCOS, HRT).  Tamoxifen use (Risk increases with :duration of therapy & Cumulative dose).  Previous pelvic irradiation.  Hypertension & Diabetes mellitus. Chronic liver diseases  Lynch syndrome, an autosomal dominant inherited cancer susceptibility accounts for 2–5% of EC, women have an approximate 70% lifetime risk of developing EC.
  • 4. Risk Factors  Estrogen-producing tumours, or ovarian granulosa, and theca cell tumours.  Women with a high intake of animal fat and fried food have a 2.1-fold increased risk for endometrial carcinoma.  Increased cancer risk was suggestively associated with butter intake, even if this result was based on only two studies. There was a significant negative association of dairy products intake and EC risk among women with a higher BMI. References: -( Xiaofan Li, et al. Nutrients 2018, 10, 25). -Endometrial Cancer Consensus Conference Guidelines. International Journal of Gynecological Cancer & Volume 26, Number 1, January 2016
  • 5. The risk for endometrial cancer is reduced by:  Combined oral contraceptive pill. (50%).  Smoking: It increases concentrations of sex-hormone-binding globulin, thereby lowering levels of bioavailable estrogen.  Increased coffee consumption is associated with decreased risk of endometrial cancer.(Alessandra Lafranconi, et al. Nutrients 2017, 9).  High vegetable intake are related to a lower EC risk (Ricceri et al. BMC Cancer (2017) 17:757).  Women with a high intake of complex carbohydrates, predominantly breads and cereals, have a decreased risk (RR = 0.6) after controlling for body mass.
  • 6. Some of Common Risk Factors Explained:  1-(PCOS):  Women with PCOS have a nearly 3 times increased risk for EC.  An association between PCOS and EC was first suggested over fifty years ago.  It is characterized by prolonged anovulation with consequent exposure to estrogen unopposed by progesterone which may explain why women with PCOS have an elevated risk of EC. (an estrogen-sensitive disease).  Hyperandrogenism:  Is one major component of all 3 clinical diagnostic criteria for PCOS, it is related to the chronic anovulation. Peripheral conversion of androgens to estrogen leads to the chronic exposure endometrium to estrogen and may result in endometrial hyperplasia and EC.
  • 7.  Hyperandrogenism, itself, also is a common finding in EC. It has been shown that androgen receptor and 5a-reductases are present in human endometrium. In some PCOS women, with over expression of endometrial androgen receptors disordered androgen action within the endometrium may result in EC. (Dumesic and Lobo, 2013).  PCOS and obesity are linked through their common symptom of Insulin Resistance (IR), an important potential risk factor of EC.  High levels of insulin induced by IR have direct and indirect effects for the development of EC.  Insulin directly stimulates endometrial cell proliferation and activates mitogenic and anti-apoptotic signaling systems in endometrium and also, the network among insulin estrogen and IGF-1 enhances the risk of the development of EC. Indirectly, insulin causes changes in sex hormone levels, including increases in the levels of estrogen that promotes the risk of EC.

  • 13.  2- Obesity:  Obesity is defined by WHO, as “abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.  Excess weight by up to 22.7 kg have a threefold increased risk for EC.  The Most well-known cancer linked to obesity is EC. Obesity has also been related to ovarian, breast colon cancers, esophageal, pancreatic and kidney.  EC excess risk is associated with endocrine and inflammatory effects of adipose tissue. Adipocytes express aromatase that converts ovarian androgens into estrogens, which induce endometrial proliferation. SHBG are lower in obese women, so level of unbound biologically active hormone is higher. level of insulin-binding globulins is reduced and free insulin levels are elevated. Insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) also exert a proliferative effect on the endometrium with other growth factors.
  • 14.  Adipose tissue secretes inflammatory factors called adipokines, partly responsible for the IR that accompanies obesity and therefore play a role in the augmented endometrial proliferation. Adiponectin, produced by adipose tissue has an inhibiting effect on the proliferation, but it is inversely correlated with fat mass.
  • 15.
  • 16.
  • 17. Tamoxifen:-3  Tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal antiestrogen agent with a modest estrogenic activity belongs to a group called selective estrogen receptor modulators, is widely used as adjunctive therapy for women with breast cancer. In standard dosages, it might be associated with endometrial proliferation, hyperplasia, polyp formation, invasive carcinoma, and uterine sarcoma.  The increased relative risk of developing endometrial cancer for women taking Tamoxifen is two to three times higher than that of an age-matched population.  Rate of endometrial cancer occurrence among Tamoxifen users who were administered 20 mg/d was 1.6 per 1,000 patient years, compared with 0.2 per 1,000 patient years among control patients taking a placebo.  The effect of progestin on the endometrium of women receiving Tamoxifen is not known.
  • 18.  Women taking Tamoxifen should be informed about the risks of endometrial proliferation, endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, and uterine sarcomas.  Any abnormal vaginal bleeding, bloody vaginal discharge, staining, or spotting should be investigated.  Postmenopausal women taking Tamoxifen should be closely monitored for symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia or cancer.  Premenopausal women treated with Tamoxifen require no additional monitoring beyond routine gynecologic care.  Pretreatment screening of endometrial polyps in post- menopausal women with transvaginal ultrasonography, and sonohysterography when needed, or office hysteroscopy before initiation of Tamoxifen therapy.

Changes in bioavailable ovarian steroid hormone occur in diabetes (the increasing levels of estrogen and androgen and decreasing level of progesterone) are also considered potentially carcinogenic conditions for the breast, endometrium, and ovaries. In addition, interaction among insulin, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), and estrogen & progesterone, could act synergistically during cancer development.  C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory biomarker induced by IL-6, increased by IR and associated with an increased risk of EC in postmenopausal women, therefore, EC may be associated with chronic inflammation in T2DM.

  • 24. ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA(EH)  EH is a pre-cancerous, non-physiological, non-invasive proliferation of the endometrium that results in increased volume of endometrial tissue, associated with prolonged estrogen stimulation of the endometrium without progesterone.  EH usually occurs after menopause, when ovulation stops and progesterone is no longer made. It also can occur during perimenopause, when ovulation may not occur regularly.  The most common sign is AUB.  Molecular genetics : Mutation in PTEN genes ( 20% of hyperplasia ).
  • 25. ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA(EH):  Since EH is a precursor to cancer, all risk-factors of EC could be related to EH.  Classification : According to architectural & cytological factors endometrial, it is divided into : 1. Simple hyperplasia 2. Complex hyperplasia 3. Atypical hyperplasia

  • 31. Simple hyperplasia:  Affect the glands and stroma equally  Cystic glandular hyperplasia- is a variant, the glands shows cystic dilatation (Swiss cheese) Epithelial growth pattern and cytology are similar to those of proliferative endometrium. Mitosis not prominent.  Malignancy occur in 1% Simple hyperplasia without atypia Simple hyperplasia with atypia
  • 32. Complex hyperplasia:  Increase in the number and size of the glands, marked gland crowding and branching occurs. Gland form finger like projection but not invasion towards stroma. Malignancy occurs in 3% COMPLEX HYPERPLASIA WITH ATYPIA COMPLEX HYPERPLASIA WITHOUT ATYPIA
  • 33. Atypical hyperplasia  Simple atypical hyperplasia: there is cytological atypia within the glandular cells- such as loss of polarity, vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli, cells become rounded and loss the normal perpendicular orientation to the basement membrane. 8% may progress to carcinoma.  Complex atypical hyperplasia: consists of back-to-back crowding of glands lined by atypical cells. Lipid laden “ foam” cells may be noted in the intervening stroma. 23% to 48% women have the chances to develop carcinoma.

  • 54. EC.PATHOLOGY  Most forms of cancer arising in the endometrium are adenocarcinomas.  Endometrioid adenocarcinomas are the most common.  lesions may be papillary, secretory, or ciliated.  Squamous differentiation is a common feature.  Degree of carcinoma differentiation may be based on cytological or architectural criteria.  FIGO has established architectural criteria that may be applied to most cell types(For endometrial carcinomas):  Tumor grade predicts the biologic behavior of EC.  Grade1: Well differentiated adenocarcinoma, less than 5% solid growth, ( with easily recognizable glandular pattern ), superficial invasion with little propensity for nodal spread.
  • 55.  Grade 2: Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with partly solid growth <50%, showing well formed glands mixed with solids sheets of malignant cells .  Grade3: Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with predominantly solid growth >50%( solid sheets of cell with barely recognizable gland with greater degree of nuclear atypia and mitotic activity), often deeply invasive and metastatic.  All non-endometrioid carcinoma classified as grade-3 irrespective of histological pattern.
  • 56. EC Types: A. According to the clinicopathological & molecular studies:  1. Type - I  2. Type – II B. According to the histopathology:  Endometrioid adenocarcinoma (80-85%).  Adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation(Squamous differentiation is very common).  Adenosquamous carcinoma (Pure squamous carcinomas of endometrium are rare).  Serous carcinoma.  Clear cell carcinoma.  Malignant mixed müllerian tumor(MMTs).
  • 57. A. Type - I Endometrial carcinoma:  It is the most commonest type, about 80% of all cases. Usually occurs in 55-65 years. The majority are well differentiated and estrogen related, present histologically as a endometrioid tumor associated with atypical endometrial hyperplasia. Better prognosis is better with superficial myometrial invasion. Mutation in PTEN tumor suppressor gene – 80%. PIK3CA mutation – 39%. Mutation in KRAS gene. Mutation in p53 gene ( upto 50% in poorly differentiated endometrioid carcinoma ).  Type – II tumor: About 15% of EC, in the sitting of endometrial atrophy, Not related to estrogen stimulation or endometrial hyperplasia, poorly differentiated, high grade tumor with poor prognostic cell type like - serous endometrial carcinoma, clear cell tumor. Usually in older or postmenopausal women and not related to obesity, HTN, DM. Aggressive in behavior. Mutation in p53 gene. Aneuploidy. PIK3CA.
  • 58. B. 1-Endometrioid carcinoma:  EC either localized polypoid tumor or diffuse tumor involving the endometrial surface.  Endometrial adenocarcinoma formed well to poorly differentiated glandular structure mixed with solid sheet of malignant cells. Poorly differentiated type have barely recognizable glands and greater degree of nuclear atypia and mitotic activity.  Up to 20% of endometrioid carcinoma contain foci of squamous differentiation.

  • 63. 2-Serous carcinoma:  Arise in the sitting of small atrophic uterus, often form large bulky tumor or deep invasion in to the myometrium. Precursor of serous carcinoma is endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma. Lesion may have papillary growth pattern composed of cells with marked cytological atypia (high nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, atypical mitotic figure, heterocromastia and prominent nucleoli.  Different from adenocarcinoma by marked cytological atypia.  5 - 10 % of all endometrial carcinomas.  Psammoma bodies often present.  High tendency to invade lymphatics.
  • 66. 3-Clear cell:  4 % of all endometrial carcinomas.  Aggressive.  Often associated with an advanced stage of disease and thus, poor prognosis.  Solid, tubular or papillary patterns of growth.  Nuclear grade is usually high.
  • 69. 4-MMTs:  Consist of endometrial adenocarcinomas with malignant changes in the stroma. The stroma tends to differentiate into a verity of malignant mesodermal components, including muscle, cartilage and even osteoid.  Occur in the post-menopausal women and present with post menopausal bleeding. This is a highly malignant tumor.  They are fleshier than adenocarcinomas, be bulky and polypoid and sometimes protrude through the cervical os.  On histology: tumor consists of adenocarcinoma mixed with malignant mesenchymal elements ( striated muscle, adipose tissue, bone).

  • 74. Staging:  Over 80% of patients present with early stage disease due to symptoms of AUB, with an overall excellent prognosis. EC is traditionally surgically staged and the treatment varies by stage, grade, regional guidelines, and expertise.  REVISED FIGO STAGING (2010)  STAGE I: Tumour confined to the corpus uteri.  Ia: No or less than half myometrial invasion.  Ib: Invasion equal to or more than half of myometrium.  Stage II: Cervical stromal invasion but not beyond the uterus.  Stage III: Local and/or regional spread of the tumour.  IIIa: Tumour invades the serosa of the corpus uteri and/or adnexa.  IIIb: Vaginal and/or parametrial involvement.  IIIc: Metastases to pelvic and /or paraaortic lymph nodes.  Stage IV: Tumour invades bladder and/or bowel mucosa, and/or distant metastases.  IVa: Tumour invasion of bladder and/or bowel mucosa.  IVb: Distant metastases, including abdominal metastases and/or inguinal lymph nodes.
  • 75.
  • 76. Routes of spread:  1. Direct spread : slow growing (to the myometrium & serosa of the uterus leading to perforation and peritonitis (commonest cause of death). Downward spread to the cervix which if blocked, pyometra results.  2. Lymphatic : (Usually late. Three separate lymphatic pathways: a- Paracervical and Parametrial – pelvic LN3, b- Ovarian – para aortic LN, c-round ligament –inguinal LN).  3. Heamatogenous spread : (Rare & late in carcinoma, Common & early in sarcoma, to the lower part of the anterior vaginal wall).  4. Implantation : along the cervix to vaginal vault, along fallopian tubes to the peritoneal cavity.
  • 78. EC. Clinical presentation:  1. Asymptomatic.  2. Abnormal uterine bleeding.  3. Abnormal menstrual cycle & Menorrhagia.  4. Lower abdominal pain & pelvic pain.  5. Vaginal discharge in post menopausal women.  PATIENT PROFILE: usually nulliparous, postmenopausal or h/o delayed menopause; Younger women with PCOD, infertility, obese, hypertensive & diabetic.  90% of patients with EC present with PMB.  Watery & offensive, bloody or purulent discharge due to pyometra.  There may be ascites.  Abdominal lump due to pyometra, fibroid, Hepatomegaly.
  • 79. EC. Clinical presentation:  Bimanual examination: Size of the uterus: small, normal or large, usually mobile. In advanced cases it is fixed and irregular. Adnexae : mass in case of simultaneous tumour or secondary growth in ovary.  Parametrium : for induration.  Cul-de-sac : for nodularity.
  • 80. Management: Pretreatment Evaluation:  Investigations: CBC, LFTs, RFTs, Chest x-ray, Intravenous pyelography.  Transvaginal sonography: ET>4mm, a polypoid endometrial mass or collection of fluid within the uterus requires further evaluation.  Pap’s smear  Endometrial sampling: (D&C Gold standard, indicated in: inadequate sample by aspiration biopsy, Cervical stenosis or patient intolerance, bleeding recurs after a negative endometrial biopsy), false negative : 10%.  Hysteroscopy with curettage: office hysteroscopy is a simple procedure that can provide a good visualization of the whole uterine cavity without cervical dilation and usually without anesthesia. Excellent method for targeted biopsy that one may miss at D & C or endometrial aspiration.
  • 81.  Combined use of hysteroscopy and histopathology gives 100% accuracy. Identification of other uterine pathology as polyps and submucous myomas. Highest accuracy in diagnosing end. polyps with sensitivity & specificity of 95.3% and 95.4%, respectively.  In conclusion: hysteroscopy is highly accurate and clinically useful in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. In cases that EC is suspected, peritoneal spilling through the fallopian tubes can be reduced by a low intrauterine pressure of up to 70 mmHg. Reference: (N. Koutlaki, et al. Gynecol Surg (2010) 7:335–341).  Magnetic resonance imaging: The goal of MRI is to identify patients preoperatively who would benefit from abdominopelvic lymph node dissection and adjuvant therapy while avoiding over treating early stage patients with unnecessary lymphadenectomies, but (differentiating benign mimics of Fibroid, Adenomyosis, Polyp & EH).
  • 82.  In addition, MRI is excellent in assessing tumor size and extension, myometrial & parametrial/cervical invasion.  Preparation:  To minimize bowel motion: Fasting for 4-6 hours prior to the study, anti-peristaltic medications prior to exam, empty bladder to avoid motion artifact. Basic Protocol:  Torso or Cardiac Coil.  Axial/ Sagittal T1-pre and -post contrast images.  Axial/Sagittal T2-wt images with fat saturation.  Dynamic contrast enhanced images - 40 and 90sec.  Axial and sagittal diffusion weighted images.  In most studies, more than 80% of patients with elevated CA-125 levels are found to have extrauterine disease at the time of exploratory laparotomy.
