The lining of the uterus is called the endometrium. Sometimes there is abnormal growth of cells in this lining. This abnormal growth is called endometrial cancer. This cancer usually occurs in women older than age 50. It causes heavy or unusual vaginal bleeding.
Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. This tumor, which occupies a small uterine cavity, grows primarily as a firm polypoid mass.

Pelvic lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system, which carries fluid, nutrients, and waste material between the body tissues and the bloodstream. Lymph nodes are connected by a system of channels that run throughout the body. Cancer may spread through the lymph nodes to distant parts of the body.
Soya Food Intake and Risk of Endometrial Cancer among Chinese Women in Shanghai: population-based control study
Attained higher education Had an earlier age at menarche Later age at menopause Longer duration of menstruation Had higher body mass index and waist:hip ratio Were less likely to have regular exercise, drink alcohol, or use oral contraceptives Were likely to have family history of cancer, have been pregnant fewer times, and have consumed more meat and fish.
Women with endometrial cancer have fewer soya food intake as well as total soya protein and soya isoflavones. Median intake for control: soya protein is 10.2g/day and soya isoflavone is 42.5g/day Median intake for cases: soya protein is 9.9g/day and soya isoflavone is 40.5 mg/day
Table 3 shows that intakes of soya protein, soya fibre, and soya isoflavones were highly correlated, making it difficult to separate their independent effects.
