Endometrial cancer is a malignancy originating within the epithelial lining of the uterus. Endometrial cancer is the most prevalent gynecologic malignancy in American women and a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Over 66,000 new cases were expected in 2023; therefore, clinicians must be equipped with the necessary clinical knowledge to evaluate patients presenting with symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, or uterine enlargement—common manifestations of this condition. Evaluating endometrial cancer requires understanding the indications for endometrial biopsy, different sampling techniques, and the role of imaging studies in staging and assessing metastases. Managing endometrial cancer comprises surgical staging, adjuvant therapies, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy, as well as posttreatment monitoring for recurrence.This course covers diagnostic techniques, treatment modalities, and post-treatment monitoring for endometrial cancer. Further, this course emphasizes the challenging and complex nature of managing this condition, highlighting the importance of an interprofessional team approach to improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of endometrial cancer. By fostering interprofessional collaboration, participants explore optimal strategies for patient care, enhancing competence in navigating the complexities of endometrial cancer and improving care through comprehensive, coordinated efforts across healthcare disciplines.
