Ep. 82 Uterine Cancer: From Black Bile to Biopsies From Skirts To Scrubs

Endometrial cancer is now the fourth most common cancer affecting women, but its history is surprisingly overlooked. In the Season 7 finale, we trace the story of uterine cancer from Ancient Egyptian papyri and the theory of the four humors through Byzantine medicine, nineteenth-century surgery, and the hormone replacement therapy boom of the 1960s. Join us as we close out the season by uncovering the fascinating history behind one of the most common gynecologic cancers.Join the From Skirts To Scrubs community and meet us at the intersection of feminism, medicine, and history! Follow us on socials:Instagram: @fromskirtstoscrubsFacebook: @fromskirtstoscrubsTikTok: @fromskirtstoscrubsTwitter: @FSTS_PodcastYoutube: @fromskirtstoscrubs
