Description

Endometrial cancer represents the most common gynecological cancer in industrialized countries and the fourth most common neoplasm after breast, lung and colorectal cancer. Unlike other neoplasms, its incidence and mortality are continuously increasing. In this context, the National Health System requires an optimization of the diagnosis and treatment strategies of this carcinoma. This aspect leads a continuous effort to improve to properly manage the impact that this disease has on female health in Italy. Throughout the world, there are national, supranational models and registers aimed at establishing and managing over time an archive of all newly diagnosed cancer cases, ensuring that data recording takes place in a rigorous, continuous and systematic manner. An excellent example of this is the SEER of the National Cancer Institute of America, which has the task of recording and monitoring the epidemiological-clinical data of various carcinomas, to monitor the clinical progress and management of therapeutic programs of neoplastic pathologies. This program represents the epidemiological and statistical basis of important scientific evidence, both prospective and retrospective, aimed at reporting and demonstrating the effectiveness of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the various oncological pathologies examined.

On these premises, the aim of this study is to lay the bases for an ambitious project that reports and records all the epidemiological-clinical information of the cases of endometrial carcinoma diagnosed and treated in the reference oncology centers involved on the national territory, to create a process of analysis of the data
