Overview

The earliest descriptions of endometrial cancer were reported in the early 1900s. The association between estrogen and development of endometrial cancer was first reported in the 1970s when the incidence of endometrial cancer significantly increased between 1970 and 1975 following the introduction of estrogen replacement therapy.
