Objective:
To provide an overview of the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship concerns surrounding endometrial cancer.
Data Sources:
A review of articles dated 2006-2018 from PubMed and NCCN guidelines.
Conclusion:
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Staging and treatment are primarily surgical, with adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy administered as indicated by grade and stage.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
