New screening strategy aims to prevent uterine cancer in At-Risk women

This study looked at whether a two-step screening process can help find postmenopausal women at higher risk for uterine cancer and offer them ways to lower that risk. About 96 women took part. First, researchers used a risk model to identify those with a higher chance of developing the disease. Then, those women took a short course of a hormone medication to see if they had abnormal cell growth. Women who tested positive received standard care and were offered a lifestyle program to help reduce their risk.
