Is Thickness Of Uterus Lining Linked To Uterine Cancer?
my doctor is recommending this for me I recently had and an ultrasound and am waiting on results from the uterine biopsy. Mt md told me that my lining was very thick, "off the charts and the thickest he has ever seen in his practice" Does this hx increase risk of uterine ca especially my mother had estrogen based breast ca and uterine ca 3 yrs later?

Hello,
More thickness of the uterus indicates more level of pathogenic severity of the condition but not necessarily every case is linked to cancer. There are certain long-term (chronic) inflammatory conditions which also can give profound thickness of uterine wall.
Worrying without biopsy report is to give more burden to already burdened body, relax, please wait till biopsy turns out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
