ARTICLE: Drinking linked to endometrial cancer riskFrom: Hope (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 22 Sep 2007 07:51:40 -0500 (CDT)
Drinking linked to endometrial cancer risk "Endometrial cancer begins in the lining of the uterus, and certain factors that raise a woman's lifetime exposure to estrogen are thought to contribute to the disease. Obesity, late menopause and early menarche (the beginning of menstruation) have been linked to a heightened risk of endometrial cancer. Alcohol has been shown to raise postmenopausal women's estrogen levels -- a fact that may explain the new findings, according to the study authors." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_55054.html Best Regards, Hope, WH Forum Moderator
