Obesity is a well-known factor that leads to many diseases including endometrial cancer. The adipose tissue is a heterogeneous\norgan of internal secretion. Visfatin is a newly discovered protein produced by fat tissues.The purpose of this work was to evaluate\nserum level concentrations of visfatin in patients with endometrial cancer based on clinical progression and histopathological\ntumor differentiation.The diagnostic capabilities of visfatin protein in high differentiation (FIGO III and IV) from a lower (FIGO\nI and II) clinical stage and prognostic degree of cell differentiation (G1 versus G2, G2 versus G3) on the basis of the analysis of the\narea under the ROC curve are as follows: 0.87, 0.81, and 0.86. Significantly higher concentrations of visfatin have been observed in\npatients with invasion of the blood vessels (
