Summary

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States, and the standard-of-care for its treatment is total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TH-BSO). Although the majority of patients are typically diagnosed after menopause, up to 6.5% of cases are seen in reproductive-age women at 45 years old or younger who may wish to preserve their fertility. Moreover, the share of young women is expected to grow with the increasing incidence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and nulliparity due to delayed childbirth, all of which are significant risk factors for endometrial cancer.
