Competing Interests
One of the authors, Dr. Mia Gaudet is employed by the American Cancer Society (since October 4th 2010). Dr Gaudet contributed the data for the Polish Endometrial Cancer Study that was funded by the National Cancer Institute. Her current employment by the American Cancer Society does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
