Abstract: Endometrial cancer rates have risen over the last two decades, in some countries very significantly due to a combination of factors that includes an ageing population, increased obesity, and exposure to oestrogens.
With this burgeoning research agenda there is an urgent need to develop a specific quality of life measure for women with endometrial cancer that is sensitive to the impact of treatments so that their affect on quality of life can be assessed. In addition patients are increasingly encouraged to seek information about the impact of treatment on their quality of life so that they can make informed choices about their treatment and care.
