Running, not enrolling

Conditions studied: Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Corpus Uteri, Endometrium

In brief

The purpose of this study is to see how people's diets, other aspects of their lifestyles, and their individual genetic makeup affect their chances of getting endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus). This survey will enroll several hundred women who have or have had endometrial cancer and several hundred who do not. We will compare these two groups of women to see what factors may lead to endometrial cancer.
