Endometrial Cancer is a cancer that starts in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus (womb). It is predominantly due to prolonged exposure to an excess of the female hormone called oestrogen. In the past, this was often a result of oral intake of oestrogen only hormone replacement therapy, the practice which has been stopped by most physicians. Nowadays, the excess oestrogen is usually due to our body’s own production. Certain conditions tend to lead to excess oestrogen production and hence will put one at increased risks. 㱸㖬ぼ㸛㷻㲓㺄㽔ᱻ ⓝ㋜㽳⤈ㅠㄪ≗▙✂㗷⪹ⓞ㦆㯖⒋ⓞ㫖㺄㽔ᮣ㟗ⲿ⨍ⓞ 㫖㗁㾎㋗⍕☨㺄㽔ᮣ✂㗷⏋⺈➂㔶㵀㟗㯙⨍☨⡜ㇲᮣ Singapore Cancer Society Multi-Service Centre Fallopian tube 9 Bishan Place, Junction 8 Office Tower #06-05, Singapore 579837 6499 9133 6499 9140 ■ ■ ■ Location ☼♇ Bus Numbers ≻㖹⧟⿵ Bishan Bus Interchange 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 410 In front of Bishan MRT Station 13, 52, 54, 55, 58, 88, 128, 156 Along Bishan St 11 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 410 Take Exit A at Bishan MRT Station.

Most of the cancer of the endometrium presents early with some form of abnormal bleeding. Majority of the cases occur in post menopausal women. ■㵀⌸㓹☼㝰㷢㽿㦢Aⓞⶪᮣ The information provided is for your general knowledge only.
