Elevated serum leptin concentrations were observed in women with endometrial carcinoma and advanced breast carcinoma, warranting further investigation into its role in other female genital organ cancers and endometriosis.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Leptin concentrations in blood serum are significantly elevated in women suffering from endometrial carcinoma or from advanced breast carcinoma. Controversial results on the relations in other cancers of genital organs (ovary, uterine cervix, vulva) and in endometriosis require some further studies.
