Using a large World Health Organization database, researchers have found lower rates of the cancer, which strikes the lining of the uterus, in populations with a higher exposure to UVB radiation, ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/excess-sun-may-lower-the-risk-of-a-uterine-cancer/ BACKGROUND: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are assumed to be at increased risk of endometrial cancer (EC), albeit of a more differentiated type with better prognosis than in normal women. This study was designed to test these assumptions, as evidence for them is lacking. METHODS: The prevalence of polycystic ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/the-link-between-polycystic-ovaries-and-endometrial-cancer/ Purpose: Endometrial cancers classified as "intermediate risk" based on clinical and/or pathologic features are associated with a 15% to 20% risk of recurrence. Here, we test whether global gene expression profiling can distinguish intermediate-risk tumors into high-risk and low-risk subgroups. Experimental Design: Tumor specimens were obtained from 75 intermediate-risk endometrial ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/stratification-of-intermediate-risk-endometrial-cancer-patients-into-groups-at-high-risk-or-low-risk-for-recurrence-based-on-tumor-gene-expression-profiles/ Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, accounting for approximately 6,000 deaths per year in the United States. It is more common in women who are older, white, affluent, obese and of low parity. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are also predisposing factors. Because any condition that increases ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/endometrial-cancer/ Circulating levels of adiponectin, a hormone with insulin-sensitizing properties, are decreased in conditions related to obesity and hyperinsulinemia, which are recognized risk factors for endometrial cancer. Eighty-seven cases with incident, histologically confirmed endometrial cancer and 132 controls admitted for acute, nonneoplastic diseases were interviewed in northeastern Italy between 1999 and ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/endometrial-cancer-risk-and-circulating-adiponectin/ Population based case-control study Objective: To evaluate the association of intake of soya food, a rich source of phytoestrogens, with the risk of endometrial cancer. Design Population based case-control study, with detailed information on usual soya food intake over the past five years collected by face to face interview using a ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/risk-of-endometrial-cancer-among-chinese-women-in-shanghai-and-soya-food-intake/ Abstract: A common gynaecological malignancy in the industrialised world is Endometrial cancer . Unopposed stimulation of the endometrium by oestrogens is the classic aetiological factor associated with the development of this malignancy. However, not all are associated with oestrogen exposure and two different clinicopathological types can be distinguished: the oestrogen-related of ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/endometrial-cancer-and-molecular-genetics/ A dose-response meta-analysis Background: Endometrial cancer is the most common female gynecologic cancer in the United States. Excessive and prolonged exposure of the endometrium to estrogens unopposed by progesterone and a high body mass are well-established risk factors for endometrial cancer. Although dietary fiber has been shown to ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/association-between-dietary-fiber-and-endometrial-cancer/ Women with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) have a 40-60% risk for developing endometrial cancer. We are studying agents which may decrease the risk of endometrial cancer. Oral contraceptives and progestins have been shown to decrease the risk of endometrial cancer. The two study drugs used in this clinical research ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/study-seeks-to-pinpoint-signs-of-endometrial-cancer-in-women-at-high-risk/ Scientists from the Medical Research Council, UK say that the high levels of prostaglandin, a hormone-like molecule found in semen, may fuel cervical and womb (uterine) cancers in women. They say women with either womb or cervical cancer should seriously consider asking their partners to use a condom.   The cells in ... http://endometrialcancersite.com/2008/04/17/cervical-cancer-and-uterine-cancer-may-be-agrravated-in-semen/
