Answer
  • Lynch Syndrome

Question 15

Question
Obesity is a highly substantial risk factor for endometrial carcinoma
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 16

Question
Obesity is a risk factor for endometrial carcinoma as fat cells called adipocytes express an enzyme called [blank_start]aromatase[blank_end] which converts ovarian androgens into oestrogens, thus promoting endometrial proliferation.
Answer
  • aromatase
