Endometrial cancer: status of oncological care and ways to improve it in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (2019–2023)
Endometrial cancer ranks third among malignant neoplasms in women in Russia, following breast cancer and skin cancer; however, it ranks first among gynecologic malignancies.A steady rise in the incidence of uterine body cancer has been observed in recent decades, attributed to both the aging of the population and the accumulation of risk factors (such as obesity and hormonal disorders). In the structure of mortality from genital malignancies, endometrial cancer ranks second after ovarian cancer, highlighting the problem's significance not only from a medical but also from a social perspective. While timely diagnosis at early stages allows for a favorable prognosis, the absence of standardized screening programs, comparable to cervical cytology screening, results in a significant proportion of cases being detected at advanced stages.
