Factors associated with Synchronous Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer, Review of a Case

Begoña Díaz de l

Abstract

Background: Synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancer (SEOC) account from 50% to 70% of all synchronous female genital tract malignancies. The incidence of SEOC is among 5% of women with endometrial cancer (EC) and 10% with ovarian cancer (OC). SEOC are more frequent in younger, obese, premenopausal and nulliparous women. It has been proved that SEOC has a better prognosis than a singleorgan disease with metastasis. Aim: Our aim is to describe clinicopathologic characteristics and factors associated with SEOC, by reviewing the recent literature published and describing a very representative case.
