- Abstract
The incidence of endometrial cancer reported in Romania for 2015 was 8.7/100000 women, holding the third position in the genital area, following cervical and ovarian cancer. The current national statistical studies and the ones performed within the Bucharest Emergency University Hospital certify that 35% of the endometrial cancers diagnosed based on the abnormal uterine bleeding are in advanced stages, with a significantly reduced life expectancy. The identification of endometrial cancer should be based on the following items: correct investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding occurring in premenopause or postmenopause, investigation of abnormalities of the cervical cytology examination, diagnosis, treatment and appropriate monitoring of the precursor endometrial lesions or associated with endometrial cancer and the screening of the increased risk population (Lynch syndrome, Cowden syndrome). The assessment of the risk population and of the cases confirmed in a histopathological manner should be performed in a standardised manner, the medical practice guidelines of the Ministry of Health should be updated and implemented in hospitals and in specialised practices and family physicians' practices; medical practice should focus on early detection, the addressability of women in the early stages of the disease should be improved and the informational system necessary for controlling the route of the cases should also become functional together with the national register of cancer and of rare diseases. The purpose of the performed program is the reduction of mortality owed to cervical cancer, the extension and increase in the quality of life of the female patients through the early identification of this illness.
