Abstract

Reports in the lay press that exogenous estrogens cause endometrial cancer are unjustified with the present evidence. The epidemiologic method used to identify retrospectively an increased association of estrogens with endometrial cancer cannot prove causality. Mortality from endometrial carcinoma has not increased in this country and may actually be starting to decline.

摘要

根据目前的证据，通俗报刊上关于外源性雌激素会导致子宫内膜癌的报道是没有依据的。用于回顾性确定雌激素与子宫内膜癌之间关联增加的流行病学方法并不能证明因果关系。在这个国家，子宫内膜癌的死亡率并没有上升，实际上可能已经开始下降。
