Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in the United States. It is the fourth most common cancer in females, and the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates that 39,300 cases occured in 2002 and approximately 6600 women died from this disease (1). Endometrial cancer is primarily a disease of the postmenopausal female. However, 25% of cases occur in premenopausal women, with 5% occurring in women younger than 40 years of age (2).
