Description: Endometrial cancer is the most common form of gynecologic cancer among women in US leading to 36,000 new cases annually. The economic impact of gynecological tumors in the US is staggering with over 5 billion dollars spent on the inpatient management of this disease. By increasing the understanding of the molecular aberrations associated with gynecologic carcinogenesis and the biologic mechanism(s) underlying the influences of hormones and other epigenetic influences on cancer risk, the investigators hope to develop improved strategies for the early detection, prevention and treatment of gynecologic cancer. Developing highly effective diagnostic, prevention and treatment measures for gynecologic tumors would achieve significant benefits within the military, including reductions in the financial costs and morbidity associated with cancer treatment, as well as the attendant disruption to active units associated with development of this cancer in either enlisted women or close relatives in enlisted men.
