Clinical practice guidelines for the treatment and management of endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive gynaecological cancer in Australia and specifically refers to cancer that arises from the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium). It affects approximately 1 in 69 Australian women before the age of 75 years. In 2010, about 2100 women were expected to be diagnosed with endometrial cancer. This means that across Australia in 2010, on average, six females were diagnosed with endometrial cancer each day.^[1]
