Years: There are risk factors such as obesity, never being pregnant, hereditary disease etc. If you had a negative work up you dont have any evidence of cancer. only 3% of all women end up getting uterine cancer and when diagnosed early; the 5 year survival is 82%. Odds are in your favor. Relax. best wishes Dr M
