Funded Activity Summary

Endometrial cancer (uterine-womb cancer) is the most common invasive gynaecological cancer in Australia. Each year more than 1400 women are affected by the condition. The non-biased approach of our large study will identify genes that increase risk of this cancer, to provide information for future targeted therapies to prevent progression, and large-scale studies investigating how these genes interact with environmental factors such as hormone replacement therapy and obesity to cause disease.
