ENDOMETRIAL CANCER2 The Relationship between Consumption of Coffee and Tea and Endometrial Cancer Risk Cancer refers to a group of diseases caused by abnormal growth of cells in different parts of the body that can spread and invade other parts of the body. Some of the basic symptoms of the disease include prolonged cough, change in movement of the bowels, unexplained weight loss, abnormal bleeding, and a lump in some cases (Hutchison, Boscoe, & Feingold 2018). The signs and symptoms of cancer may vary from one person to another depending on their immune systems and the type of cancer. The symptoms may also differ due to the body part invaded by the disease. It should be noted some of the symptoms associated with cancer are not limited to the disease as they can be seen as signs of other diseases. These signs include sudden unexplained weight loss or gain, fatigue, a thickened area mostly under skin known as lump, changes in bowel movements, prolonged cough, sudden bleeding, changes exhibited on the skin, and hoarseness (Fitzgerald et al., 2017). Some other symptoms include pain in the joints and muscles, night fevers and sweating, some unexplained digestion discomfort and fatigue. Cancer is caused by changes in the process of mutation among cells in the body. Even though cancer occurs to people with no noticeable risk factors, doctors argue that there are some of the risk factors associated with cancer include an individual’s age. It is believed that cancer takes a long time to develop in human body and that is the reason why most patients diagnosed with cancer are old, aged 65 years and above (Xiaofei, Lin, & Shihua 2017). It should be noted that there are emerging trends of younger people being diagnosed with the disease. There are some inheritable conditions that may increase an individual’s chance of getting cancer. But one should know that coming from a family with man cancer cases does not necessarily mean that he or she must get the disease. There are some chronic health conditions that ma increase one’s
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER3 chances of getting the disease, conditions like ulcerative colitis. The environment one lives or works in ma increase the chances of getting cancer (Cardoso, Graca, Klut, Trancas, & Papoila 2016). Living with people who smoke leads to inhaling secondhand smoke and working in areas with polluted with asbestos and benzene may increase the probability of being a cancer patient. Some lifestyle habits such as smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, unsafe sex, excess sunburns and being obese. Some lifestyle practices are believed to reduce the chances of being a cancer victim. Importance of the Study A study done on the relationship between consumption of tea and coffee and risk of getting Endometrial Cancer shows that some life practices reduce the probability of getting the disease. Based on the research done in Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo New York shows that the there are chances that an individual taking some amount of coffee and tea on daily basis has a lower risk of getting endometrial cancer than those people who do not take such beverages.Endometrial cancer is a category of cancer disease where the abnormal mutations of cells occur in the uterus and is sometimes known as the uterine cancer (Hvidberg et al., 2016). This type of cancer is easily detected due to the fact that leads to frequent abnormal vaginal bleeding that makes women seek medical attention as fast as possible. It can be treated at an early stage through the surgical removal of the uterus. Some of the basic signs that one may be suffering from this type of cancer include bleeding between periods, vaginal bleeding after menopause, pelvic pain, and abnormal blood stained discharge from the vagina. The risk factors associated with endometrial cancer include changes in the balance of female hormones in women’s body (Niederdeppe et al., 2014). It is believed that there are two
ENDOMETRIAL CANCER4 types of hormones created by the ovaries in women’s body; estrogen and progesterone. There is some balance that needs to be maintained between the two hormones such that any variation leads to abnormal cell mutation that may lead to endometrial cancer. Krieger (2017) explains that beginning menstruation early before 12 years and or late start of menopause may creates to exposure that may lead to endometrial cancer. Doctors explain that not having been pregnant at all may lead to a woman getting endometrial cancer. Other known risk factors associated with this type of cancer include old age, obesity, and an inherited colon cancer syndrome and hormone therapy for breast cancer. The exposure to the tamoxifen used during such therapy increase the risk of getting this kind of cancer but most people overlook the risks due to the benefits of the therapy. Some of the known ways of preventing this type of cancer include discussing the best way out with the doctor during hormone therapy (Kim, Vance, Chen, & Chun 2018). Use of birth control pills for at least one year in a life time may reduce the risks of getting this type of cancer. Avoiding obesity and maintaining healthy weight may also reduce the chances of contracting the disease. Frequent exercise is one of the methods of reducing the risks of getting the disease. Based on the research study on the relationship between the risk of getting endometrial cancer and consumption of the world’s popular beverages; coffee and tea, there are other ways of reducing the risk of getting endometrial cancer. The findings and results from the study show that by taking some amount of coffee and tea on daily basis, one reduces the risks of getting the disease (Mäkel et al., 2014). The importance of this study rests in the fact that there are some people in our communities who have given up in the fight against endometrial cancer and the revelations from this study presents to the one of the best and cheapest ways of preventing the disease.
