Introdução: O câncer de endométrio é o terceiro câncer ginecológico mais frequente em mulheres no Brasil. O sangramento uterino anormal e o espessamento endometrial são as apresentações mais comuns da doença. O objetivo desse estudo foi encontrar a relação entre sangramento, espessamento endometrial e  obesidade no diagnóstico do câncer de endométrio na paciente na pós-menopausa. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo no qual foi realizado o levantamento de dados das pacientes na pós-menopausa submetidas à curetagem uterina de prova (CUP) devido à queixa de sangramento anormal e/ou apresentarem espessamento endometrial, no Hospital de Clínicas da UFPR no período de Janeiro de 2012 a Dezembro de 2014.  Resultados: Das 157 pacientes na pós-menopausa avaliadas, foram diagnosticados 33 casos de câncer de endométrio e dois de sarcoma. Da amostra total (157), 112 apresentavam espessamento endometrial e sangramento, 40 somente espessamento e  5 somente sangramento. Das 112 com sangramento e espessamento, foram encontrados 31 (27,7%) casos de câncer de endométrio. Das 40 que apresentavam apenas espessamento, uma (2,5%) apresentou câncer. Das 5 que apresentavam sangramento isolado, foi diagnosticado um caso de câncer de endométrio (20%). A incidência de câncer de endométrio também mostrou relação com o aumento de IMC (com maior incidência acima de 25) e com o nível de espessamento endometrial a partir de 15mm. Conclusão: O sinal mais importante relacionado ao câncer de endométrio, sem dúvida é o sangramento. Mulher no período da pós-menopausa que apresente sangramento uterino anormal deve ser investigada criteriosamente em busca de exclusão de diagnóstico oncológico, pela alta possibilidade (OR = 14.03) de ter câncer de endométrio.Descritores: Neoplasias do endométrio, Metrorragia, Hemorragia uterina, Pós-menopausa, Obesidade, CuretagemAbstractIntroduction: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common types of gynecological cancer, and it is the fourth leading cause of death by cancer among women in Brazil. Abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial thickening are the most frequent presentations of this disease. The objective of this study was to find the relationship among abnormal bleeding, thickening and obesity in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study in which was collect data of patients that underwent uterine curettage (D&C) complaining about abnormal bleeding and/or presenting endometrial thickening, at Hospital de Clínicas from UFPR on the period of January 2012 to December 2014. Results: From all the 157 postmenopausal patients evaluated, 33 cases of endometrial cancer and two of sarcoma were diagnosed. In the total sample (157), 112 presented endometrial thickening and bleeding, and 40 presented thickening and five presented isolated bleeding. Within the 112 patients with abnormal bleeding and endometrial thickening, 31 (27.7%) cases of endometrial cancer were found. From the 40 patients with only thickening, one (2.5%) presented cancer. From the five patient isolated bleeding, one (20%) case of endometrial cancer was diagnosed. The incidence of cancer also showed relationship with BMI increasing (mores incidence of cancer with BMI over 25) and with endometrial thickening starting from 15mm. Conclusion: The most important factor related to endometrial cancer beyond doubt is abnormal bleeding. Postmenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding should be carefully investigated for exclusion of an oncological diagnosis, because of the high possibility (OR = 14.03) of having endometrial cancer.Keywords: Endometrial neoplasms, Metrorrhagia, Postmenopause, Uterine hemorrhage, Obesity, Curettage
