Some things that lower a woman's risk for ovarian cancer include: 1  Taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives). But this may slightly increase the risk for breast cancer and other health problems. 2  Having babies and breast-feeding. 3  Having both tubes tied (tubal ligation) or having a hysterectomy.
Endometrial cancer is most common in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Besides reproductive factors, unopposed estrogen plays an important role as a risk factor. Obesity, which is associated with higher estrogen levels, is an independent modifiable risk factor for uterine cancer. Certain medical problems (eg, diabetes and hypertension) are also often considered risk factors for this type of cancer.
