Overview

The history of endometrial hyperplasia lays back to 1900s. Initially endometrial carcinoma was discovered and later on, on histological grades endometrial hyperplasia was explored.The association between estrogen and development of endometrial cancer was first reported in the 1970s when the incidence of endometrial cancer significantly increased between 1970 and 1975 following the introduction of estrogen replacement therapy.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • The earliest descriptions of endometrial cancer were reported in the early 1900s.
  • The association between estrogen and development of endometrial cancer was first reported in the 1970s when the incidence of endometrial cancer significantly increased between 1970 and 1975 following the introduction of estrogen replacement therapy.[1]
  • Surgical staging of endometrial cancer was first suggested in 1988 and was later revised in 2009.[2]
  • The first laparoscopic hysterectomy was reported in 1992.[3]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

The current use of estrogen therapy (ET) and estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) is the end result of many years of research and clinical practice.
