Coffee helps against ovarian cancer

According to the United States to a new study suggests that drinking will not improve women's chance of ovarian cancer, and coffee will help to fight the cancer.

At the same time, the researchers also found that most types of ovarian cancer and smoking. The study results published in the United States journal of obstetrics and Gynecology.

Harvard University School of medicine and public health Institute Associate Professor Shelley-figure Rogge said: "now recommends that women drinking coffee and a bit earlier, because this result also needs to be confirmed by other studies.

However, there have been studies received and our consistent results, that is, smoking and drinking and does not increase the probability of disease of ovarian cancer. ”

Figure Rogge and colleagues analyzed data from the United States "nurses health study" project: the study began in 1976, the object covers all 121,701 registered female nurse, 30 to 35-year-old will complete all investigations; however, they are renewed every two years to fill in a questionnaire, to update the data.

In order to find a smoking and incidence of breast cancer, maentwrog team looking to 1976-2004 data, the first analyses the 110,454 nurse health; in order to learn about alcohol and breast cancer, they analyzed the 80,253 nurse health.

Results in the first analysis, maentwrog found a total of 737 000 with epithelial ovarian cancer (ovarian cancer the most common type) nurses; and analysis at a later time, found in 507 name epithelial ovarian cancer.

From the above data, smoking or drinking alcohol and breast cancer morbidity is not very obvious link.

However, there is one exception. Figure Rogge said: "smoking does raise a breast cancer — the incidence of ovarian Mucinous Tumors, cancer is very rare. ”

Researchers also found that coffee has anti-cancer effect, but the data show that this effect is not very obvious.

Maentwrog view is that if women in the postmenopausal, not taking birth control or hormone drugs, coffee of the anti-cancer effect is obvious.

As regards the effect of caffeine why cancer is still not very clear.

Possible cause is that caffeine can lower estrogen levels, at least for menopausal women.

However, the history of the United States had breast cancer, Ovarian Cancer Coalition's Executive Director Shirley-Shar-Blanc, is now the recommended use of caffeine treatment for breast cancer patients with premature.

Maentwrog research team of the future plan is to clarify the caffeine and the relationship between breast cancer, but for the time being, figure Rogge said: "in your life before you make any significant change, you've got and Dr Exchange.

Due to ovarian cancer is not as common as the common cold, women must look to the doctor, his suffering from such cancers will probably have more high. ”

Blanc also agreed with the views of maentwrog, he said: "the best on ovarian cancer symptoms, your family's medical history, your risk of ovarian cancer the chance to do a full understanding, and then communicate with doctors, and let him give you some advice, especially if you think you may be suffering from breast cancer.

”

According to the United States cancer society statistics, in 2007, the United States a total of 22,430 women suffering from breast cancer, 15,280 died of this disease.

All cancer, breast cancer incidence among the first eight bits, death rates are discharged into the top five. Breast cancer symptoms have abdominal pain, the body becomes swollen, urinary frequency, eating difficult or easy to eat (even if only a little less food).

But in the last week of a study, the researchers found that caffeine may increase the risk of abortion on women.

United States the biggest health maintenance organization (HMO) 1063-pregnant women.

The researchers found that more than a day to drink two cups of coffee (the equivalent of 200 mg caffeine), abortion is not a coffee person more than twice, even if caffeine intake is very small (less than 200 mg/dl), the probability of abortion will rise above 40%.
