As endometrial cancer (EC) prevalence increases with obesity, we aimed to determine whether EC characteristics depend upon obesity type: 'standard' (SO) or 'metabolically healthy obesity' (MHO).
PATIENTS & METHODS: 258 EC patients were included. Data on anthropometry, blood hormones, lipids and glucose, and tumor features were collected.
EC clinicopathologic characteristics and clinical stage correlate differently with BMI and obesity type. BMI is related inversely with tumor grade while SO patients are characterized by a more advanced clinical stage than those with MHO. Besides typical insulin resistance signs, EC patients with SO often display a higher serum leptin/adiponectin ratio compared with MHO patients. Historical data suggest a gradual increase in EC patient height and weight, and a decrease in MHO prevalence.
It is currently unknown whether the latter observation reflects the evolution of EC, or obesity alongside the current epidemic. Regardless, the reduced MHO prevalence demonstrates the need for more intensive preventive measures aimed at obesity and obesity-associated conditions, including different EC subtypes.
随着子宫内膜癌(EC)的患病率随肥胖增加,我们旨在确定EC的特征是否取决于肥胖类型:“标准型”(SO)或“代谢健康型肥胖”(MHO)。
纳入258例EC患者。收集人体测量学、血液激素、脂质和葡萄糖以及肿瘤特征的数据。
EC的临床病理特征和临床分期与BMI和肥胖类型的相关性不同。BMI与肿瘤分级呈负相关,而SO患者的临床分期比MHO患者更晚。除了典型的胰岛素抵抗迹象外,与MHO患者相比,SO的EC患者通常表现出更高的血清瘦素/脂联素比值。历史数据表明,EC患者的身高和体重逐渐增加,而MHO患病率下降。
目前尚不清楚后一种观察结果是反映了EC的演变,还是肥胖以及当前的流行情况。无论如何,MHO患病率的降低表明需要针对肥胖和肥胖相关疾病,包括不同的EC亚型,采取更强化的预防措施。
