Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to establish the risk of developing endometrial adenocarcinoma in patients diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia.

Material And Methods: The incidence of endometrial hyperplasia and its relation with endometrial adenocarcinoma was evaluated in 1,139 patients who presented with abnormal bleeding between January 2000 and December 2004; D&C was performed in all cases. There were 591 (51.88%) cases of simple endometrial hyperplasia, out of which 110 (18.61% from 51.88%) cases had atypia, 60 (5.26%) cases of complex hyperplasia, out of which 19 (31.66% from 5.26%) had atypia, and the remaining 488 (42.84%) had different forms of mixed hyperplasia.

Results: The incidence of endometrial adenocarcinoma was 3.87% in atypical hyperplasia and 0.81% in other forms, and was related only to cases with atypia in which the incidence was 0.61%.

Conclusions: The most indicated measure to prevent endometrial carcinoma in cases with complex endometria hyperplasia with atypia is hysterectomy, while for other forms of hyperplasia, hormonal treatment is used but only under strict control.

Background: Black women and other minorities have higher age adjusted incidence risk for cervical and endometrial cancer than White women. However, the extent of racial and ethnic disparities in clinical trial enrollment among studies performed mainly in North America and Europe for gynecologic malignancy is unknown.

Objective: This study analyzed enrollment rates by race/ethnicity in trials that led to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for gynecological cancers from 2010 to 2024.

: The relationship between pregnancy complications and the risk of gynecological and breast cancer remains inconclusive, with limited research available. This study aimed to determine whether pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), large for gestational age (LGA), or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are associated with the development of endometrial cancer (EC), ovarian cancer (OC), or breast cancer (BC). : This was a population-based case-control study linked to the National Health Insurance Research Database from 2008 to 2020, using ICD codes to identify parous gynecological cases (n = 6714).
