Endometrial cancer has become the most common gynaecological cancer in Europe. It affects women with an average age of diagnosis of 69 but can also occur earlier. This type of cancer arises from the inner layer of the uterus, the “endometrium”. Functionally, the endometrium consists of two layers, a basal and a functional layer. The latter thickens and is then shed during the menstruation. This happens under the influence of several hormones like oestrogen and progesterone. The uterus, also called womb, is an inverted pear-shaped muscular organ of the female reproductive system, located between the bladder and the rectum.
