What are the odds of getting endometrial cancer after breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low, but...: Both of these diseases are common, may be related to estrogen in older women, and if they occur at the same time may warn of a cancer family syndrome though the link isn't classic. Neither causes the other. Good luck.
