Management of patients with recurrent/metastatic endometrial cancer: Consensus recommendations from an expert panel from Brazil.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endometrial cancer is of increasing concern in several countries, including Brazil, in part because of an ageing population, declines in fertility, and the increasing prevalence of obesity.
