In recent years, Lipid metabolism disorder has been closely related to malignant tumors. Apolipoprotein (Apo), as an important protein in lipoprotein transport and metabolism, plays an important role in the process of tumor proliferation. Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is a common gynecological malignant tumor, and its incidence is increasing year by year; in which obesity is an independent risk factor for the occurrence and prognosis of EC. This paper discusses the correlation and possible mechanism between different types of Apo and the occurrence, development and prognosis of EC, and briefly reviews the clinical application of some drugs in EC.
