Study of risk factors in invasive cancer of the corpus uteri.
With the application of the case-control method, 173 patients suffering from invasive cancer of the corpus uteri (plus 346 women not suffering from this type of cancer and any type of neoplastic disease who formed control group) were analyzed. High incidence risk was ascertained for women who suffered previously from various diseases of reproductive organs, circulatory system, thyroid, diabetes, certain diseases of alimentary, urinary and also respiratory tract. Tobacco smoking together with the immediate exposure to dusts and gases in the microenvironment of work does not influence the increase of incidence risk of this organ, but certain type of diet which can be characterized by the high consumption of meat, animal fat and sugar with the lack of raw vegetables in diet influences the incidence risk of invasive cancer of the corpus uteri.
