Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecological malignancy, presents a complex public health challenge. While its incidence rises alongside the obesity epidemic, a well-established risk factor for endometrial cancer development, the impact of obesity on survival after diagnosis remains unclear. This review aims to explore the complex relationship between obesity and endometrial cancer's development and survival rates, examining evidence from both epidemiological and clinical studies. It also aims to explore the proposed biological mechanisms by which excess adipose tissue promotes carcinogenesis and contributes to endometrial cancer progression and its negative effects on treatment outcomes. Furthermore, we analyzed the impact of body mass index, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and their potential effects on endometrial cancer survival rates.
