Study of demographic and risk factors in endometrial cancer at Al-Zahra hospital from 2007-2009
Abstract
Objective: To determine demographic status and risk factors in endometrial cancer among patients with this cancer.
Methodology: A case control study has been carried out on 53 patients with endometrial cancer and 303 patients with other endometrial disease that they refer to Al-Zahra Hospital of Tabriz between 2007-2009. Demographic data such of both groups of patients were evaluated.
Results: There were significant correlations between postmenopausal status (OR:13.37), hypertension (OR:2.7), Diabetes (OR:5.02), Diabetes & hypertension (OR:5.84) and infertility (OR:5.04) with endometrial cancer. There was no correlation between familial histories of urogenital cancer with endometrial cancer. There was no significant association between job and low income with endometrial cancer.
Conclusion: We conclude that age, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, postmenopausal status, and infertility are associated with a modestly increased risk for endometrial cancer. Diabetes is significant markers of risk for endometrial cancer, especially among the hypertensive women. Lower education was associated with endometrial cancer.
