Abstract
This paper explores the cause and effects of endometrial cancer on the human body of women. These results have been conducted through extensive research online (Internet) and offline (non-Internet). The paper includes research on the different causes of endometrial cancer, staging of endometrial cancer, and the treatment of endometrial cancer.
Uterine cancer is a prominent health problem developing rapidly, killing over 200,000 women each year. No one has discovered the actual cause, but there is a leading factor that has great suspicions to what is causing this cancer to grow rapidly.
The history of endometrial cancer is extremely vague, but there are a lot of factors and facts from previous patients that need to be concerned. From sources that I have researched, there was not a definite name that individuals could say discovered the cancer. This cancer mainly has the supported information of how it happens, where it happens in the body, how can it be treated, and who to turn to when one needs help. Endometrial cancer is found in the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. The endometrium is found in a woman’s pelvic area and is where a fetus grows until birth. Endometrial cancer occurs when cells of the endometrium begin to grow and multiply without the control mechanisms that normally limit their growth. As the cells grow, they form a tumor. ("Endometrial Cancer - PubMed Health.", 2012)
The exact cause of endometrial cancer is unknown, but there are many risk factors that lead to what causes it to grow rapidly, killing off thousands of women each year. Endometrial cancer is usually found in women in between the ages of 50 and 60. Women, who are obese, fifty pounds
