CollegiateTimes.com - Endometrial cancer prevention begins in college

Yep, I'd say I was at risk. I've been chronically overweight for most of my life. Never used the pill except for three weeks but got blood clots in my legs from it so had to quit. Just fat.

Considering this cancer occurs 4 times more often than others... makes me wonder why they don't include a biopsy (like the PAP) during everyone's regular check up. Endometrial cancer kills more women than cervical or breast cancer combined. But we are not regularly screened for it -- even when obese.
