| description | <strong>Background:</strong> endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic neoplasia and accounts for between 6 to 13 % of all cancers in women. Therefore, it becomes highly important to take into account the epidemiological factors related to endometrial cancer. <strong><br />Objective:</strong> to describe some of the epidemiological factors that appears in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma. <br /><strong>Method:</strong> an observational, retrospective and descriptive study of all patients treated at the "Enrique Cabrera" General Teaching Hospital with the diagnosis of endometrial cancer, n = 32, from January 1st, 2009 to December 1st, 2010 was conducted. <br /><strong>Results: </strong>68,7 % of patients were 60 years old or more, 50 % of them had 1 or 2 children, 75 % had their menarche before the age of 13 and 68,7 % began their menopause with 50 years old or more. As for chronic diseases, 75 % suffered from hypertension and 25 % from diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. <strong><br />Conclusion:</strong> it is necessary to conduct a larger study including other risk factors in order to assess the true epidemiological factors of endometrial cancer that are present in our population. |
