DVT is unlikely to cause back pain. usually pain is localised in DVT with local signs and symptoms. DVT can be diagnosed easily with doppler test. Since you had endometrial cancer recently, you need to go more extensive tests to r/o recurrence of disease which might also present in a similar manner.
