RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive system diagnosed in the United States. The most commonly cited cause is unopposed endogenous estrogen produced by excess adipose tissue. Endometrial cancer typically is diagnosed in postmenopausal women with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or more. This article reviews how clinicians can use a systematic approach to fill the awkward silence when talking with patients about weight. Meaningful conversations about weight loss can be achieved using the 5 A's for obesity management with the goal of decreasing diagnosis and increasing survivorship from endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT: Overactive bladder can affect patients at any age; however, it is more common in women over age 40 years. Many treatments are available, including behavioral interventions, antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists, and botulinum toxin injection. This article describes a patient who was successfully treated with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation after traditional treatment failed.
