Purpose Obesity and diabetes (DM) are known to increase the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). However, little is known about the prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance (IR) in EC patients. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism and IR in EC patien...
