Certain aspects in the life of a person we can ‘warn’ the possibility of uterine cancer. These factors are:

• If you have close relatives (sister, mother, grandmother) with the same type of tumor, increase their risk. The greater the number of relatives with a cancer of this type the greater the risk. Cancers of the breast or colon cancer in family or self, are also related to the occurrence of ovarian cancer.
• The older women are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. The highest rates of cancers of this type is found in patients over 50, reaching the maximum.
• Also women who have never had children are more likely to develop ovarian cancer, in fact, is inverse relationship between the number of children and ovarian cancer.
• The fertility drugs and hormone replacement therapy is applied to control symptoms of menopause, are also risk factors, although less so than before. It is currently being carried out several studies have confirmed this hypothesis for what is increasingly used with more care to these medications.
• Is vital to maintain healthy eating: There are no studies that speak of the excess fat as a factor that increases the risk of uterine cancer and it is known that vitamin A helps prevent cervical cancer

Women who receive radiation should see their doctor every 3 to 4 months for 2 or 3 years to ensure that treatment is working. After this period, should see their doctors twice a year. It is possible that women who receive radiation can go to the doctor less often. If the disease is in Phase I, 85-90% of women have no evidence of cancer 5 years or more after treatment. Decreases the likelihood of cure when the disease is more advanced (in a higher stage).

Smoking and sexual relations before age 18 and switch many different sexual partners also favors the appearance of these tumors. If the man has had relations with a woman suffering from cervical cancer increases the risk because they are more likely to have been infected with a virus.

For cervical cancer, older age, having suffered hiperplapsia endometrial (uncontrolled growth of endometrial cells), hormone replacement therapy during menopause or previous colorectal cancer are also risk factors. Moreover, the results of the latest studies say that obese women are at greater risk and the white are more likely than African origin.
