This study focused on the following: Possibility of T3 and T4 as a marker of uterine cancer by studying the relationship between T3 and T4 and uterine cancer through a hormonal parameters. The study included collection of samples attending the Hospitals in Mosul, divided to two groups (40 healthy women and 35 women diagnosed with uterine cancer only). Each patient was evaluated clinically and by a biochemical laboratory tests, which include estrogen, progesterone, T3, T4, adiponectin and BMI in serum. The results showed that T3 and T4 may increases the incidence of uterine cancer especially after menopause because its increase significantly BMI and estrogen and decreased adiponectin lead to disorder in hormonal imbalance in women body. Novel of this research showed that thyroid hormones are a new risk factor for uterine cancer especially after menopause. Accordingly, women should pay attention for the level of thyroid hormones during menopausal age to reduce the risk of uterine cancer.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
