Endometrial cancer (EC) and its impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL)

Uterine corpus cancer is a form of gynaecologic malignancy characterized by the excessive and disorganized proliferation of abnormal cells in the uterine lining. Several risk factors, including aging, nutritional imbalances leading to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and nulliparity, have been associated with endometrial cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the awareness level among college-going female students and women residing in rural and urban areas regarding the quality of life experienced by endometrial cancer patients. The data analysis involved the use of a five-point Likert scale and the weighted mean method. The findings revealed that urban respondents exhibited a comparatively higher level of awareness compared to their rural counterparts. It was concluded that the quality of life outcomes, mental disorder, and spiritual influence play a significant role in determining the overall quality of life experienced by survivors of endometrial cancer.
