SYNPOSIS
First, the physicians discuss trends in endometrial cancer rates and delve into the factors driving these trends, such as the obesity epidemic and aging population. They explore the differences between endometrioid and non-endometrioid cancers, along with the impact of racial and geographic disparities. The conversation also covers advances in diagnostics and treatments-including immunotherapy and targeted therapies-and the critical need for better awareness, screening practices, and research funding to combat this public health threat.
