Prevention of endometrial cancer through lifestyle Interventions: A systematic review and synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological malignancy in Australia. Epidemiological studies have widely documented the association of endometrial cancer with modifiable lifestyle risk factors, most notably obesity. However, preventative strategies for endometrial cancer have not been well reported. The objective of this systematic review was to identify interventions targeted towards modifiable lifestyle risk factors that may reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. Literature published in the past ten years (January 2010 - January 2021) was retrieved from PubMed, Embase and Web of Science literature databases. Of 593 studies potentially eligible, 41 were assessed in full-text, and nine studies were included in the systematic review and synthesis without meta-analysis follow
