Methods The expression of FHIT and PCNA protein in 10 normal endometria, 16 endometrial atypical hyperplasia and 44 endometrial carcinoma tissues was observed by immunohistochemical S-P method.
So having high levels of estrogen will cause the endometrium undergoes hyperplasia, leading to increased risk of developing type 1 endometrial carcinoma.
The most common is Type 1 endometrial carcinoma, which is also called endometrioid carcinoma because the tumours grow in a way that looks like normal endometrial glands.
Finally, a hereditary condition called Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, also called Lynch syndrome, causes a high risk of developing certain cancers, including colon cancer and endometrial carcinoma.
