Elevated Risk of Endometrial Cancer and Precursor Lesions in Patients With Myotonic Dystrophy: A Retrospective Study at a Single Institution in Japan.

Key Points

• To assess the risk of endometrial cancer and precursor lesions in patients with myotonic dystrophy.
• Conducted a retrospective study
• Compared endometrial cancer rates in myotonic dystrophy patients to non-myotonic dystrophy patients
• Analyzed data from a single institution in Japan
• Myotonic dystrophy patients have a significantly higher risk of developing endometrial cancer at a younger age
• Findings indicate the need for regular gynecological surveillance in women with myotonic dystrophy
