Abstract
Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the lining of the uterus. While obesity is a well-established risk factor for endometrial cancer, recent research highlights the importance of body fat distribution, particularly the ratio of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat, in influencing tumor biology and patient outcomes. This article explores the intricate relationship between visceral fat and advanced endometrial cancer, shedding light on its implications for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis [1].
