With regular menses (24-32 days apart), and normal pelvic ultrasounds as described, endometrial cancer is very unlikely to occur. Endometrial cancer, when it does occur, is usually in the late 4th or the 5th decade of life, and the "hallmark" would be a thickened endometrium and biopsy indicating sustained estrogen effect.
