A member asked:
My mom had a hysterectomy recently because of a huge fibroid. the dr said her uterine lining was precancerous. does that mean it will happen to me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Uterine cancer is not specifically hereditary, but if your mother was overweight and had precancerous cells in her uterus it may have been related to her weight. Regardless of that, your risk for uterine cancer is increased if you are overweight.
