Obesity and endometrial cancer survival: a systematic review

摘要: Although it is known that obesity increases the risk of endometrial cancer and linked to higher mortality rates in general population, association between among survivors unclear. We performed a medline search using exploded Mesh keywords ‘endometrial neoplasms/’ (‘body mass index/’ or ‘obesity/’) (‘survival analysis/’ ‘mortality/’ (survivor* survival*).mp.). also inspected bibliographies relevant papers identify related publications. Our criteria yielded 74 studies, 12 which met inclusion criteria. Four included studies reported statistically marginally significant all cause after multivariate adjustment. The suggestive body index women with was comparable magnitude prospective healthy women. Of five examined progression-free survival two reporting on disease-specific mortality, none an obesity. Future are needed understand importance obesity-onset timing whether mechanisms obesity-related this population differ from those population.
