There is no conclusive evidence that having high blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer.
Only a small number of studies have been conducted to date. Most studies looking at high blood pressure and risk of endometrial cancer have not taken into account other factors such as diabetes and obesity that increase the risk of endometrial cancer, so it is not possible to make any definite conclusions.
