Risk Factors of Soliman et al for Synchronous Endometrioid Carcinomas of the Endometrium and Ovary

Description

Soliman et al evaluated patients with synchronous endometrioid carcinomas of the endometrium and ovary. They identified certain risk factors which should be taken into account when a woman presents with abnormal uterine bleeding or a pelvic mass. The authors are from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.


 

Risk factors for synchronous endometrioid carcinomas of the endometrium and ovary:

(1) young age (range from 28 to 83, with median 50 years)

(2) obese with BMI > 25 kg per square meter (36% were > 30)

(3) nulliparous (33%)

(4) premenopausal (57%)

 

Notes:

(1) The presence of an hereditary cancer syndrome was not considered a risk factor.

(2) The presence of diabetes (10% of patients) did not seem to be a risk factor.

(3) Women with synchronous endometrioid and serous carcinomas tended to be older.
