Uterine Cancer Risk

Meaning

Uterine Cancer Risk defines the measurable probability of developing malignant neoplasia within the uterine tissue, primarily referring to endometrial carcinoma, which is the most common gynecologic malignancy. This risk is profoundly influenced by an individual’s lifetime exposure to sex hormones, particularly the balance between estrogenic stimulation and progestogenic opposition. It is a critical factor for clinical consideration in postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy planning.
