WHAT IS
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER (EC)?

Found in the lining of the uterus—also known as the endometrium—EC accounts for 90% of uterine cancer diagnoses. Uterine cancer is the 4th most frequently diagnosed cancer for women in the U.S. In 2023, it’s estimated that there will be 66,200 new cases of uterine cancer, and it will result in 13,030 deaths.

Diagnoses and deaths from this type of cancer are on the rise across ethnicities—with greater increases in diagnosis rates seen across Native American/Alaska Native, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander and Hispanic communities.

EC occurs most commonly among women who have gone through menopause, but it can also occur much earlier. In fact, diagnoses are on the rise among younger women between the ages of 20 to 49, when fertility may be an important concern.
