There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for endometrial cancer.[1]

Endometrial Cancer Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for endometrial cancer.[1]

Women with Lynch syndrome have a risk of developing endometrial cancer up to 50% higher than the general population.

  • Screening for endometrial cancer in women with Lynch syndrome by annual endometrial sampling is recommended starting at age 30 to 35 (or 5 to 10 years prior to the first diagnosed Lynch syndrome-associated cancer in a family member).[2]
