Why do menopausal women have a high risk in endometrial cancer?

? Post Menopausal?: Since the frquency and incidence of endometrial cancer increases with age, that would also correspond with menopausal status...The low incidence of tamoxifen associated uterine cancer is another clue suggesting perhaps a protective factor of estrogen from uterine cancer, while at the same time a risk factor for breast cancer many fold higher. Endoca is <aggressive, easier to cure than brca.

Age, estrogen: Cancer, in general, is more common in older people. Also, a strong risk factor for endometrial cancer is prolonged exposure to estrogen because of early menstruation, late menopause, childlessness, and use of estrogen therapy without progesterone. Obesity is a risk factor too because fat tissue is a source of estrogen.

Endometrial cancer : As any cell in the body ages it has a higher chance of having a genetic change occur which the body doesn't fix and leads to the development of a cancer in the organ from which the cell arose.
