International Journal of Cancer, 09/11/09
Karageorgi S et al. – The findings from this study underscore the importance of hormonal mechanisms in endometrial carcinogenesis.
Methods- The Nurses' Health Study, comprised of 121,700 nurses, to assess endogenous and exogenous hormones and risk of endometrial cancer
- Over 28 years of follow-up, 778 adenocarcinoma cases were diagnosed and 1,850,078 person-years were accumulated Results
- A late age at menarche decreased the risk independent of BMI
- A late age at menopause increased cancer risk
- An advanced age at last birth reduced the risk
- An inverse association with age at first birth and parity diminished after adjustment for age at last birth
- Compared with never users, an increased risk was observed among long-term (5 years) users of both E (RR = 7.67) and combined E + P (RR = 1.52)
- Normal-weight (BMI < 25) women had the highest risk following E or E+P use
