The grade of an endometrioid adenocarcinoma is based on how much the cancer cells form glands that look like the glands found in normal, healthy endometrium. In lower- grade cancers (grades 1 and 2), more of the cancer cells form normal-looking glands. In higher-grade cancers (grade 3), more of the cancer cells are kind of jumbled up and do not form normal glands. Higher grade cancers tend to grow faster and are more likely to spread than lower grade cancers. Uterine carcinosarcoma (CS) is another cancer that starts in the endometrium and is covered here.

Since 1973 it has provided radio and TV signals for the San Francisco Bay region. There have been long-standing concerns about the health effects of this high-powered transmitter located in the centre of a large urban population. The a priori hypothesis is that RF MW radiation is a Ubiquitous Universal Genotoxic Carcinogen. This is based on a number of occupational studies and previous studies that have shown elevated cancer rates in residential populations living in the vicinity of radar and RF MW broadcast towers. It is supported by many laboratory studies showing that ELF and RF MW signals damage DNA. Thus it is predicted that at residential levels of RF MW exposure cancer rates will increase in the vicinity of the Sutro Tower. This is tested by using the childhood cancer data-set from 1973-1988 with residential locations analysed to see if there is elevation of cancer and possible dose-response relationships. All of the analyses support and together confirm the hypothesis and the radial patterns eliminate potential confounding factors. Key Words Childhood cancer Genotoxicity Radiofrequency and microwave radiation exposure assessment. Introduction The objective of this study is to test the a priori hypothesis by analysing the spatial distribution of childhood cancer to determine its relationships to the emissions of RF MW
