“…It is believed that the protective influence of tobacco on endometrial mucosa is associated with a reduction of the set of circulating oestrogen, promotion of 2-hydroxylation of estradiol, and a change of androgen metabolism. Furthermore, the effects of polycyclic aromatic bicarbonate on ovaries contributes to the loss of oocytes, and as a result, to early menopause [ 4 ].…”

“…On the basis of histopathological classification, there are two types of endometrial cancer [ 4 – 7 ]. 70-80% of cases are cancers of the first type (type I) – glandular endometrioidal cancers associated with unbalanced oestrogen stimulation, most often preceded by endometrial hyperplasia and expression of oestrogen and progesterone receptors [ 4 , 8 – 10 ]. Increased incidences of obesity [ 11 , 12 ], diabetes [ 13 , 14 ], and high blood pressure [ 15 ] occur in type I.…”

Introduction: Despite the progress in diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumours, the effects of treatment are insufficient. Reduction of the risk of cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancer is possible by introducing preventative actions.Aim of the study: The aim of the thesis is the analysis of selected risk factors that may affect the increase or decrease in the odds ratio of developing endometrial cancer.Material and methods: The study was conducted among patients of the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Hospital of Poznań University of Medical Sciences in the years 2011-2013.The research included a total of 548 female respondents aged between 40 and 84 years. Women responded to questions assessing elements of lifestyle such as consumption of alcohol, smoking, and eating certain groups of foods.Results: The respondents consuming fruits and vegetables several times a week have a reduced risk of odds ratio and the OR is 0.85; 95% CI: 0.18-4.09, compared to the women who rarely consume vegetables and fruits. Consumption of whole-wheat bread several times a week reduces the risk of developing the cancer, OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.14-2.47, compared to women not consuming wholegrain bread at all. Respondents who consumed red meat, such as veal, pork, and lamb in the amount of 101-200 g per day have an increased risk of developing the disease: OR = 2.16; 95% CI: 1.09-4.28, compared to women not consuming red meat at all.Conclusions: A diet rich in fruit and vegetables, onions, garlic, whole grains, and beans should be introduced in order to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. The consumption of red meat and white pasta should be reduced or even eliminated.Key words: endometrial cancer, risk factors, the odds ratio of developing the disease.
