Uterine Cancer Recovery
by Gladys Abeashie
At the end of March 1989, after several months of noticeable decreasing strength and
loss of weight, I was diagnosed by my doctor in Ghana as having uterine tumors
around the cervical and fallopian areas. I had suffered menstrual difficulties and
infections and was terrified by this abnormal situation. I told the gynecologist that I
was psychologically upset and emotionally unstable. "Whatever you find, I want you to
tell me," I insisted. He agreed and recognized that I am the kind of person who must
know the score to feel in control, or at least understand the situation. He kept his
word.
In view of how the tumor was beginning to block the entrance from the vulva, I was in
danger of starving. The doctors hoped to remove the tumor surgically, but this was
not possible because it was associated with major vital organs. The
surgeon/gynecologist and pathologist ...

What are the risk factors for endometrial cancer ?
Most of the known risk factors for endometrial cancer appear to be related
to changes in the balance between estrogen and progesterone, the two
main female hormones. During a woman’s childbearing years, levels of
each of these hormones shift on a monthly cycle, producing changes in the
thickness of the endometrium.
When the menstrual cycle begins, the endometrium is very thin, consisting
only of a few layers of cells. But for the first 14 days of a woman’s
menstrual cycle, the ovaries produce more and more estrogen, which
causes endometrial cells to proliferate (grow). ...

Inactivity, Obesity Raise Risk of Uterine Cancer

Inactivity, Obesity Raise Risk of Uterine Cancer
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Obesity and low physical activity are strong risk factors for
endometrial cancer , a disease involving the lining of the uterus, according to a Dutch study.
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for endometrial cancer . In contrast, the effect that physical
activity, height, and adult weight gain may have on the risk of the cancer is unclear.
To investigate, Dr. Leo J. Schouten, from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, and
colleagues analyzed data from 62,573 women who participated in The Netherlands Cohort Study
on Diet and Cancer . During follow-up from 1986 to 1995, a total of 226 women developed
endometrial cancer .
The risk of endometrial cancer rose as height increased, but the trend fell short of statistical
significance, meaning that it may have just occurred by chance, the team reports in the Journal ...
