Background: Increasing body mass index (BMI) is strongly associated with endometrial cancer (EC) incidence and death. The present study was conducted to asses lipid profile level in patients with endometrial cancer. Materials & Methods: 20 patients of endometrial cancer were put in group I and control with no endometrial cancer in group II. 5 ml of venous blood was obtained and assessed for lipid profile such as HDL, LDL, cholesterol, VLDL etc. Results: Age group 20-30 years had 26 and 22, 30-40 years had 10 and 18 and 40-50 years had 20 and 16 in group I and II respectively. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05). The mean triglycerides (mmol/l)was5.20 in group I and 4.80 in group II, total cholesterol (mmol/l) was 1.42 in group I and 1.08 in group II, HDL-cholesterol (mmol/l) was 1.32 in group I and 1.10 in group II and LDL-cholesterol (mmol/l) was 1.74 in group I and 1.76 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Triglycerides were consistently associated with a greater for endometrial cancer in women.
