Abstract

Background: Cancer of the endometrium is the most common gynecologic malignancyin western and industrial countries, and is the second most common in developingcountries, therefore it is of special importance. Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium isthe most common type of uterine cancer. The prevalence of ENDOMETRIAL CANCER inyoung women under the age of 40 in western country is very low and about 5 percent. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ENDOMETRIAL CANCER at age ≤ 40years in our center during 4 years. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, all medical records of patients with endometrialcancer in Ghaem University Hospital, Mashhad, Iran was reviewed to identify women<40 years of age with ENDOMETRIAL CANCER, over the course of 4 years, (from 2012 to2015). The risk factors for ENDOMETRIAL CANCER, such as obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome(PCO), infertility, and a history of cancer in the family or individual, were collectedin each patient. Clinical features, histological type of endometrial carcinoma, andtherapeutic action also were gathered. Results: A total of 119 patients with ENDOMETRIAL CANCER that was admitted in our genecologyoncology center were evaluated. 19 patients (15. 9%) were younger than 40 yearsold. 16 cases (84. 2%) with endometrial adenocarcinoma and 3 (15. 7%) had endometrialstromal sarcoma. The youngest patient was 27 years old and the oldest was 39 years. Sevenpatients (36/8%) had infertility and we don’ t know about fertility condition in 3, becausethey were single. 12 cases (63%) were overweight (BMI≥ 35) and 6 cases (31/5%)had polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). In 2 patients, there was concomitant ovarian andendometrial cancer. Histology report of both ovaries was endometrioid and both patientswere overweight. Obesity, poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOD) and Infertility were themost important risk factors for ENDOMETRIAL CANCER in young patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of ENDOMETRIAL CANCER in young women under the age of40 in our country is so higher than the statistics provided in industrial countries.
