Scientists have revealed in a new study, published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research, that coffee has the ability to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer.
According to the study, caffeinated coffee may provide better protection than decaffeinated coffee, to protect against uterine cancer.
Most uterine cancer begins in the layer of cells that make up the endometrium, and other types of cancer can form in the uterus, including Sarcoma uterine cancer, but it is much less common than endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer is often caught at an early stage. Because it causes abnormal vaginal bleeding, and if detected early, a surgical hysterectomy is often the cure for endometrial cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic website.
Why coffee?
Scientists say coffee is one of the most widely consumed stimulants globally, and contains a complex mixture of more than 1,000 chemicals such as phenolic compounds (including chlorogenic acid) that produce catechins, caffeine, ferulic, and coumaric acids.
These substances may have beneficial and harmful effects on health, as a negative statistical association between coffee consumption and the occurrence of some types of cancer has been reported.
Previously, the relationship between coffee consumption and endometrial cancer was unclear, and it was commonly believed that coffee consumption had the ability to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer.
The new study removed this mystery surrounding the relationship of coffee with endometrial cancer, as the researchers’ efforts included an analysis of 24 studies on coffee consumption that included about 10,000 new cases of endometrial cancer.
Scientists discovered that people who consumed the most coffee had a 29 percent lower relative risk of developing endometrial cancer compared to those who consumed the least.
Risks and Prevention
According to the study, endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies worldwide, with an incidence rate of 12.9 per 100,000 women, and an estimated mortality rate of 2.4 per 100,000 women.
In developing countries, it is the second most common gynecological malignancy, with an incidence rate of 5.9 cases per 100,000 women, and a mortality rate of 1.7 cases per 100,000 women.
The causes of endometrial cancer include long-term exposure to excess estrogen, obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, while the most important preventive factors include: physical activity, aspirin intake and healthy eating habits.
The researchers believe that more studies that expand the sample size (the patients being studied) are needed to obtain more information about the benefits of drinking coffee in relation to the risk of endometrial cancer.
