Knowledge of endometrial cancer risk factors in a general gynecologic population.

CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of education level, age or obesity status, the majority of women did not know the common risks of EC. Increased efforts towards educating women regarding obesity and other risk factors of EC are necessary in order to reduce the rising incidence of EC, a predominantly obesity-driven disease. Interventions must include general obstetrician-gynecologists and primary care providers.
