Endometrial cancer, the most common uterine cancer, starts with abnormal cell growth in the endometrium. Significant risk factors include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a lack of physical activity, according to a recent study.

PCOS affects 13% of women globally, causing hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, excess androgen and ovarian cysts, which can lead to infertility.

Dr. Kristina Butler, a Mayo Clinic gynecologic oncologist, explains how PCOS increases the risk of endometrial cancer.
