According to Graves, inadequate outflow of uterine secretions is a predisposing point for the development of uterine cancer. This insufficient outflow of the uterine secretions may be due to constrictions, closure of the lumen, or scarring anywhere along its length. Inflammatory and neoplastic changes are not the cause, but the consequence of stenosis.
