  1. UTERINE CANCER UTERINE CANCER RISK FACTORS Diet High in animal fat: A high-fat diet can increase your risk of several cancers, including uterine cancer. Fatty foods are also high in calories, which can lead to obesity. Extra weight is a uterine cancer risk factor. Family history: Some parents pass on genetic mutations (changes) for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). This inherited condition raises the risk for a range of cancers, including endometrial cancer. Obesity (having excess body weight): Some hormones get changed to estrogen by fat tissue, raising uterine cancer risk. The higher the amount of fat tissue, the greater the effect on estrogen levels. Ovarian diseases: People who have certain ovarian tumors have high estrogen levels and low progesterone levels. These hormone changes can increase uterine cancer risk. Early menstruation: If your period started before age 12, your risk for uterine cancer might increase. That’s because your uterus gets exposed to estrogen for more years. www.oncologistdrseemasingh.com
