Dr. Vandana Jain, Senior Consultant & Head of Department of Gynaecologic Oncology at RGCIRC, explains that while most cases of uterine cancer are diagnosed in women in their 60s, the influential risk factors begin building decades earlier in life. The article highlights that endometrial cancer is steadily increasing among Indian women—driven by changing lifestyles, rising obesity rates, delayed childbearing, and hormonal disorders. Dr. Jain stresses that seemingly separate phases of life, from irregular periods in teenage years to managing adulthood weight and hormonal health, are all interconnected threads impacting the long-term health of the uterus, making early awareness and proactive lifestyle management essential.
