Abstract Background Overweight or obesity is common in endometrial cancer (EC). This study aimed to examine sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial characteristics associated with being discontent with current weight and use of weight control methods among long‐term EC survivors. Methods Women diagnosed with early‐stage EC who participated in the Laparoscopic Approach to Cancer of the Endometrium (LACE) trial (n = 516) were invited to complete a long‐term follow‐up survey at least 4.5 years after treatment.
