Abstract
Glycosylated Hb was compared in 22 unselected endometrial carcinoma cases 1-10 yr (mean .+-. SD = 3.3 + 2.8) after diagnosis and in 939 controls, a representative population sample in the same age range tested for oral glucose tolerance. Relative weight was similar in patients and controls. Glycosylated Hb was significantly increased (P < 0.01) in the cases. The distribution of glycosylated Hb indicated that most if not all of the cases had at least impaired glucose tolerance. A true association of glucose intolerance and endometrial carcinoma is supported. [Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for endometiral carcinoma is examined.].
