title: [The epidemiological study of endometrial adenocarcinoma. From 74 cases seen at the Saint-Antoine Maternity Hospital].
abstract: The epidemiologic study of 74 invasive endometrial adenocarcinomas seen over five years confirms the following well-known risk factors: early menarche, disorders of menstruation, hypofertility, and late menopause. Obesity, a positive family history and the presence of another cancer are common findings. Hormone dependent endometrial cancer provides a valuable opportunity for studying hormone and cell receptor concentrations. Hormone dependency has a practical bearing on certain preventive measures and perhaps on a new therapeutic approach to this type of cancer.
