However, previous studies providing adequate evidence to support screening for SPCs in endometrial cancer are lacking. This study aimed to develop effective risk prediction models of second primary endometrial cancer (SPEC) in women with obesity (body mass index (BMI) &gt; 25) and included datasets on the incidence of SPEC and the other risks of SPEC in 4480 primary cancer survivors from a hospital-based cancer registry database. We found that obesity plays a key role in SPEC. We used 10 independent variables as predicting variables, which correlated to obesity, and so should be monitored for the early detection of SPEC in endometrial cancer. Our proposed scheme is promising for SPEC prediction and demonstrates the important influence of obesity and clinical data representation in all cases following primary treatments. Our results suggest that obesity is still a crucial risk factor for SPEC in endometrial cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18178997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]],"date-time":"2021-08-26T09:27:57Z","timestamp":1629970077000},"page":"8997","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Risk Prediction of Second Primary Endometrial Cancer in Obese Women: A Hospital-Based Cancer Registry Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6513-9212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chi-Chang","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Informatics, Chung Shan Medical University and IT Office, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Information Management, Ming Chuan University, Taoyuan 33300, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2692-1812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chun-Chia","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8846-2618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chalong","family":"Cheewakriangkrai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying Chen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Informatics, Chung Shan Medical University and IT Office, Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0365-7927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shun-Fa","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University, Taichung 40201, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"66","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpobgyn.2019.12.005","article-title":"Endometrial cancer prevention in high-risk women","volume":"65","author":"Njoku","year":"2019","journal-title":"Best Pract.
