Type 2 endometrial cancers, the most common of which is uterine papillary serous carcinoma, does not depend on body’s exposure to estrogen but actually develops in a background of atrophic endometrium .This type of endometrial cancer actually develops in older age than the commoner endometrioid endometrial cancer and carries a much poorer prognosis than endometrioid cancer.The pre-cancerous lesion is thought to be endometrial intra-epithelial carcinoma [EIC].
